It can be enhanced for better visualization. It could be a little better. And the graph center can be improved.""Customized reporting can be improved."

More Opsview Cons →

"I would like to see more integration with other tools that are available on the market.""The solution should be more user-friendly.""The implementation needs improvement. It needs to get modernized with the newer cloud scenario in both public and private deployment models.""The integration with Unix services should be a bit more straightforward.""AppOptics would benefit from having a much more centralized view.""In terms of the technology, I think they need to put some more advanced troubleshooting into SolarWinds, in terms of AI capabilities. That's the next generation, especially in the cases of APIs which have already adopted AI capabilities into their products."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is not cheap. I think that the pricing is a little bit on the high side."
  • "I would rate pricing a seven out of ten, where ten is the highest price."
  • "The solution is priced similarly to other tools offering similar features."
  • More Opsview Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Mostly, it's a perpetual license. We don't have any customers using the subscription right now—it's mostly a perpetual license that the customers purchase. The licensing is based on the number of elements, whereas other solutions are node-based."
  • "I believe the current licensing cost is reasonable."
  • "Since it's a negotiable rate, I would rate the pricing as a five out of five."
