Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I am satisfied with the overall product since it works well…It is a stable solution.""What was very compelling about OpsView was that we could dial out the noise and have meaningful and actionable alerts.""The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup.""It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes.""We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider. We also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients."

"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user.""Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively.""The security features are very valuable.""I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management.""Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable.""The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors.""The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed.""I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel."

Cons
"Some of the graphics on Opsview could be improved.""Maybe the graphical representation can be improved. It can be enhanced for better visualization. It could be a little better. And the graph center can be improved.""In a future release, we would like to have Observ for AI. Any AI and intelligence it can add to the monitoring is obviously beneficial. We would also like to have automated callouts.""Customized reporting can be improved.""Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved."

More Opsview Cons →

"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based.""It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model.""The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes.""The solution can give a lot of false positives.""They could improve the UI.""We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade.""Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session.""The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used."
