Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"The solution is easy to install and it takes a couple of hours."
"Technical support is very helpful with our upgrades."
"The set up was very easy. We didn't have any problems with the setup. The deployment took less than an hour."
"Their support team is efficient, and it is easy to set up."
"The alerting and usage tracking notifications on disk space capacity, network and processor utilization."
"We found that it was easy to operate, and it was simple if anyone has entry-level working experience or even if someone is not experienced."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the alerts."
"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"Stability."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"The dashboard of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Scalability is a bit tricky because it requires more gateways in order to get the performance you may need. It also requires a lot of licensing."
"The solution needs to integrate with additional SDN technologies that are part of the hyper market."
"The solution could be more secure."
"The only real caveat that we have or that I have an issue with is when I go on vacation, it's a little hard for me to go and modify alerts so that I don't get alerted about things when I'm on vacation."
"Consolidation of platforms would provide a smoother experience."
"The solution is not always good with new features, so it's take a long time."
"Application Performance Monitoring should be included in this solution."
