Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."
"I am satisfied with the overall product since it works well…It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup."
"What was very compelling about OpsView was that we could dial out the noise and have meaningful and actionable alerts."
"We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider. We also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"It works better than other products I’ve used – namely SolarWinds, which is cumbersome and error prone for web app monitoring. SCOM is not."
"SCOM has improved our organization by simplifying the monitoring process. The system tells you what the bi-weekly or monthly usage was and that enables us to report this information to the manager. It shows if there was a connectivity issue that needs to be fixed and it's easier to concentrate on what needs to get fixed. System errors, therefore, get fixed faster."
"This solution allows us to standardize all of the reports for monitoring the network, so it helps a lot for auditing purposes."
"It's easy to use."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"Being able to make and customize management packs and send out notifications is very valuable."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Some of the graphics on Opsview could be improved."
"In a future release, we would like to have Observ for AI. Any AI and intelligence it can add to the monitoring is obviously beneficial. We would also like to have automated callouts."
"Maybe the graphical representation can be improved. It can be enhanced for better visualization. It could be a little better. And the graph center can be improved."
"Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved."
"Customized reporting can be improved."
"I would like more customized reports. People should have some customization option on the dashboards for whenever they put multiple lists into it. Beyond customizing the content, there should be the ability to customize the colors so that they can engage some priority and mark challenges separately."
"The end-user components, including the dashboards, the administration console, and the web console, need to be improved."
"The solution should be more user-friendly and offer a better user interface."
"Direct integration with third-party tools, like ticketing systems, is lacking but would be beneficial."
"It lacks certain details that other products do better, like granular access and better application monitoring."
"We didn't know the solution enough, and therefore, it took a while to set everything up correctly. There was a learning curve."
"It could use some system enhancements, such as better dashboards."
"Non Windows monitoring is fairly weak. Network device monitoring is not reliable."
