Pros
"The most valuable feature is the granularity of visibility into the resources that are in use by our applications.""The most valuable features in ControlUp are endpoint monitoring and the many features that are available.""Integration with Netscaler and Scoutbees can provide a proper end-to-end analysis of the user's experience and give us a real ROI.""The script-based actions have allowed us to extend the core reporting capabilities.""When using ControlUp, the core feature that we have found valuable is its UI. It is a valuable tool to view the analysis reactions of a base core Level 2 or Level 1 team so that they can complete the necessary troubleshooting.""It has a great career time monitoring tool.""It shows you so many details of what's going on in that log-on that, if there's a problem, you can identify it in five minutes.""ControlUp has an easy installation process."

"It shows us not only when utilization is high, but also when it is low.""MetricsView allows us to keep an eye on computer memory, internal network availability, processors, etc. Letting us know where our issues are coming from based on those numbers.""It allows us to easily troubleshoot computer issues instead of calling a tech person or do the troubleshooting ourselves and taking the time to do it."

Cons
"We'd like to see the mobile app working again so that we can get alerts 24/7. This is especially useful for the person on call.""The graphical user interface needs to be improved from version to version.""This solution be improved by including load throttling tools. For example, I can identify a service where we spend a lot of CPU but I cannot restrict the service from ControlUp. I have to use another tool like AppSense.""Solve is a quick and intuitive tool for quickly mapping data together, however, once you have the view of the data that you like, it is difficult to share this with colleagues.""ControlUp could improve the integration. Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop monitoring has better integration.""Integration is always a problem, and we feel that we are doing our best and the service provider thinks they are doing their best. I guess if ControlUp's system could be more capable or if people could understand the integration part, that would be better.""Something I would love to see from a partner perspective would be maybe a way to do this in a surface hosting provider.""It can be improved by including script-based scheduling."

"An online app or download would be useful for the next release, possibly even a phone app that I could use to view my dashboard when I am stationed remotely."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the ControlUp solution.

    A Chair, IEEE Consumer Technology Society - Dallas,Texas, USA at a non-profit says, “In terms of the public cloud, ControlUp's features make us feel very secure. Security, uptime, and reduced capital expenditures are the main reasons we use ControlUp. So basically, the money that we consume is based on the amount of time we are using a service. ControlUp offers a return-on-investment type of approach that helps us.”

    A VP Virtualisation and Citrix Engineer at BlackRock mentions, “Solve is quickly becoming one of the most-used features. Its interface allows us to connect to all 54,000 monitored endpoints in real-time. The script-based actions have allowed us to extend the core reporting capabilities. Combined with the triggers, we have been growing their usage to fix things before they become an issue. Lastly, the controller view allows us to compare the configurations of settings side-by-side which is extremely helpful when tracking down the RCA of an issue.”

    A Senior Citrix Remote Access Engineer at Rabobank comments, “The high-level view of the estate coupled with powerful administration tools has been great. We can see real-time performance and trends and can create triggers for common issues with associated scripts that can automate a lot of the previous manual remediation steps.”

    Monitor Server performance by tracking and uploading Windows Performance Counters, Linux Collectd counters or SNMP data to the Dotcom-Monitor cloud where it can be monitored next to other performance indexes such as website performance.
