Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The administration piece makes it very easy to do MQ administration. It gives us a lot more flexibility and capabilities.""It allows non-technical users to inspect their individual components within the total infrastructure without disturbing other components and without bothering the technical teams.""We have easily created use case testing harnesses for specific flows that incorporate various message types.""It's what we use for monitoring our MQ system, so the features that they provide are just really, really good.""Monitoring that ties into our incident management system""It has role-based access to queues, giving us more insights into problems."

More Avada Software Infrared360 Pros →

"One of the excellent features is the service analyzer, which is truly impressive.""Customers have noted the solution helps streamline incident management.""The most valuable features are the mapping of the entities, which provides a comprehensive analysis, and the service analyzer for thresholding.""Splunk Episodes are valuable because it correlates and aggregates all the information, and you do not have one million events to look at and triage, so it is quite convenient.""The observability is great and valuable.""Splunk ITSI helps us secure our environment by allowing us to create automatons that run when alerts are triggered.""We have a lot of teams using Splunk and they would be blind without it.""The modeling required to setup ITSI has been very helpful in providing us a better understanding and a logical view of our services. The modeling is flexible and can be as granular or high level as our needs dictate."

Cons
"The UI can be cumbersome - but we are still using the Viper interface and we have not had the time to check out the Alloy interface which is supposed to be much improved.""We are still working with the FTE/MFT subscription monitoring and reporting functionality. That is an area in which we would like to see further development taking place.""Some of the graphics in the interface could be improved. It's pretty basic. Some interfaces are not up to what you're used to seeing on other, more Windows-like tools.""The user interface could be sexier and more ergonomic. The competing products have similar problems.""One area where they could improve is with their documentation. Some sections are not up to date with new release information and providing additional samples in some areas would be very helpful.""We desire a dashboard that could accumulate BOQ lengths per tenant on one screen for all tenants."

More Avada Software Infrared360 Cons →

"ITSI could benefit from a security model that would allow operations team members to get involved in model building, KPI implementation, and model maintenance, while maintaining appropriate segregation of duties.""It would be advantageous to enhance the dashboard by incorporating sections for monitoring, service health, and a filter for the KPIs.""We also faced challenges relating to UI development.""It is pretty okay. I am not sure whether the current release has already moved to the new framework where instead of the glass tables, we can directly use the Dashboard Studio. It would be nice to have that integrated into the same framework.""I believe the refresh time should be faster.""We have problems doing upgrades and operating alternate new versions.""Integration is the most critical area to improve in Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI). It wasn't a great experience because you had to do a little back and forth to integrate the solution.""We'd like them to show more inputs on the dashboard."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Because the licensing is at the QMGR level, you need to have at least a small cushion of licenses for occasional enterprise needs."
  • "Our internal budget calculation model incorporates the pricing per endpoint for any new projects. However, as our footprint for distributed queue managers shrinks as part of our shared middleware hub deployment, the initial licensing and support costs have been reduced over the last five years."
  • "Avada Software's licensing metric is very good because the license fees are based on the number of connections (which have not increased for us very much over the years) rather than the CPU processing power (which increases significantly whenever our hardware is upgraded) or the number of users (which has increased for us a lot since our original purchase)."
  • "Start small, then increase licensing later as per your demand."
  • More Avada Software Infrared360 Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I would prefer that the price be reduced, as it would be easier to implement it and to sell it."
  • "Splunk pricing is high."
  • "The pricing of Splunk is a bit high."
  • "Splunk ITSI is a pay-per-use service that is priced fairly based on the amount of data we use."
  • "Its pricing has been changed as per the market. You get a good support service with it as well. They have 24/7 customer support. There is a portal, and if you are having issues, they are available in order to resolve them. So, its pricing isn't too much."
  • "Splunk ITSI is expensive; however, with the appropriate use case, it justifies the cost."
  • "Splunk ITSI is an expensive tool, and we need to purchase the utility license."
  • "Pricing has some room for improvement."

    Top Answer:The product is expensive. It's one of the most expensive options, although maybe not as expensive as Datadog.
    Top Answer:In Splunk ITSI, thresholds automatically trigger incidents when a service value falls below the threshold. This prevents us from automatically triggering alerts for situations where the service value… more »

    Overview

    Avada Software specializes in Enterprise Middleware solutions. Founded by some pioneers in SOA, MQ and J2EE technology, Avada’s Flagship product, Infrared360, is a holistic & innovative private cloud enabled portal providing self-service administration, monitoring, load testing, auditing & statistical reporting for Enterprise Middleware including IBM’s middleware stack of MQ, IIB (message broker), WAS, and Datapower, as well as other applications servers such as  JBoss, TC Server, Weblogic, and other messaging technologies such as Tibco EMS and Kafka*.

    Accessed via any web browser on any device, Infrared360 is a single web application, yet scales to 2500+ endpoints without deploying anything (no agents, no scripts) to those endpoints.

    Using trusted ‘spaces’ and delegated visibility and control, the portal uniquely provides different business units or even different application users virtual ‘spaces’ in which to work.  Within those spaces are only the objects and resources the user has been granted visibility.  Role policy dictates permissions on those resources.

    It is the ONLY Enterprise Messaging Solution with a built in SOA engine that lets you leverage internal and external services for managing and correcting problems within your middleware messaging environment.
