Cons
"Making it more clear on how to configure the filters, or really automating them, would be an improvement.""The solution's automation has room for improvement.""I would like to see the tool work in an open environment the same as how it does in a closed environment.""I am not using OmniPeek for automation, we only do manual testing. Automation testing is tedious to do. The automation should be more user-friendly. I have exposed some APIs but the usage is not user-friendly.""I would like to see the saving feature improved. We have had issues if you do not save your progress then you have to start from the beginning.""I don't see a clear roadmap in the future for improving this software."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing for this solution could be improved, as it is a very expensive product."
  • "There are different types of licenses available."
  • "We have only purchased the add-on once and have not paid for any subsequent versions as it was too costly for us."
  • More OmniPeek 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."
