Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Microsoft, ServiceNow and others in Server Monitoring."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."
"I am satisfied with the overall product since it works well…It is a stable solution."
"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."
"It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."
"It's actually easy to understand."
"There are many expansions available."
"There are lots of modules around IT service management such as IT business management and human resource management (HRC)."
"In my experience, ServiceNow's most valuable feature is its flexibility. If you have a DevOps or development team, you can customize it to meet your specific needs. The tool's dashboard categorizes incidents, making managing it much easier."
"The flow designer for application development is the most valuable. The newest version of flow designer allows us to develop applications quite fast. We can have custom and mobile applications. It has an interface for mobiles, and it also has a good reputation."
"Within our organization, we're not finding really any major issues with scalability and things of that nature."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the ease of use and the sensor for ticketing systems."
"It's great for keeping everyone informed in the company - not just IT. Everyone becomes aware of change requests and incidents so the entire company is on the same page."
"Customized reporting can be improved."
"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."
"Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved."
"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."
"The discovery of assets could be improved; right now they only allow for one domain."
"When we are using the solution on mobile phones on their networks the performance is reduced with a delay of approximately 8 seconds. There is less delay using the desktop computers connected to the WiFi or to the network directly."
"There's always a room for improvement in terms of the ServiceNow UI. For customers, the UI is something that is a continuous improvement."
"ServiceNow doesn't cater to the Middle Eastern market."
"The high price is a huge barrier in Portugal."
"There should be greater integration with other enterprise applications. We're using Microsoft, Oracle, and other applications, and it would be good to have a greater integration on some of the immediate hiccups that you have with these services. It doesn't mean that when we have a problem with using another application, ServiceNow should be able to fix it, but ServiceNow should be able to alert us to things. There should be a bit more automation or integration."
"The licensing needs to be divided into tiers in order to attract lower-level users."
"Most people are discussing UIs, but I'm a developer. I would say 80-90% of the people would appreciate that, that's easy for them, but from a developer perspective, it's hard for me, because for me it's clunky"
