"ControlUp has an easy installation process.""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.""Integration with Netscaler and Scoutbees can provide a proper end-to-end analysis of the user's experience and give us a real ROI.""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.""The most valuable feature is the granularity of visibility into the resources that are in use by our applications.""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.""The most valuable features in ControlUp are endpoint monitoring and the many features that are available.""The script-based actions have allowed us to extend the core reporting capabilities."

More ControlUp Pros →

Cons
"The dashboard needs to improve.""We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities.""The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved."

More Avantra Cons →

"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.""It can be improved by including script-based scheduling.""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.""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.""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.""The graphical user interface needs to be improved from version to version.""Something I would love to see from a partner perspective would be maybe a way to do this in a surface hosting provider.""ControlUp could improve the integration. Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop monitoring has better integration."

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.”

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.”
