Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex.""The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching.""The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features.""The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it.""The tool is efficient in collecting, monitoring and evaluating logs.""It can monitor, get the data, and then report on the data.""The most valuable feature is log reporting.""The feature I find most valuable, is the data integration."

"The product offers good documentation that helps with initial training.""Its Docker Container concept is mind blowing. It is the first monitoring tool which comes with Docker features.""They have also accommodated many state-of-the-art technologies like Docker and ZooKeeper.""It's easy to use.""The custom built integration is one of the most valuable features because you can see all the especially critical items.""What I like most about Zenoss Service Dynamics is that it monitors the devices and gives close to real-time alerts. For example, in case the device is not available, Zenoss Service Dynamics generates an alert so my team can resolve the issue.""The most valuable feature is the flexible discovery mechanism."

Cons
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users.""The deployment can be quite complex.""The product collects a lot of data but it does not assure that it collects all of it.""Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference.""The clustering part of indexes can be more refined.""It would be useful if they provided some help pages. If you don't know too much about the tool, there should be more documentation readily available. It would be useful if they had a help button embedded in the solution so you could ask questions and get answers.""The cost needs to be re-examined. It's extremely expensive to run. It's also expensive to expand. That's the number one complaint all of my customers have when it comes to Splunk. It's way too expensive compared to other solutions.""The solution should have more sensors regarding fiber intelligence for security measures."

More Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring Cons →

"It would be ideal if the product offered sound alerts.""As Zenoss Service Dynamics is more for network-centric devices and you want to monitor, for example, a server, its services, IP addresses, and interfaces, if it's a network and you're going to monitor multiple items, you'll be charged multiple times. This is what Zenoss Service Dynamics needs to improve to make sure that customers pay just one fee to monitor the entire server. What I'd like to see in Zenoss Service Dynamics in the future is a public cloud monitoring feature, particularly for the Azure public cloud. Another additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is integration with the Azure public cloud because I know that there are some services from Azure that Zenoss Service Dynamics is currently unable to monitor.""There is room for improvement with the administrative part. They introduced Control Center to manage things in Zenoss 5. The services that Zenoss provides remained the same, but the administrative part, since they introduced Docker, etc., has become a little complex""The AI aspect needs to improve.""The inclusion of a feature to show a graphical view of the network would be a helpful improvement.""Now it is stable, but they should design threshold parameters in percentage instead of raw values.""There was a problem with Zenoss and storage monitoring."

  • "It is very cost-effective compared to the tools I worked with in the past. The company is gaining a lot with respect to the cost factor. It provides agentless monitoring and in a very cheap way."
  • "The pricing depends on the environment, the number of services, and the size of the data center. It can go from $100,000 to a million dollars."
  • "There are additional costs you'll have to pay apart from the license fee for Zenoss Service Dynamics. I can't remember exactly how much my company is paying because I don't handle the finance part, but the cost is paid annually.
