Cons
"They have good technical support but it's not excellent.""It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop.""There are some bugs or glitches.""GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls.""The solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer."

More Pulseway Cons →

"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.""The implementation needs improvement. It needs to get modernized with the newer cloud scenario in both public and private deployment models.""AppOptics would benefit from having a much more centralized view.""The solution should be more user-friendly.""I would like to see more integration with other tools that are available on the market.""The integration with Unix services should be a bit more straightforward."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "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."
