An SME from the UK set up a few sites in Opsview, then reached out to different team members and showed them how to add other sites. Certain people were assigned to creating sites in Asia so they would learn how to do it and be able to better support it. Other people were tasked with building up the sites in Europe. And in about two weeks, we added all the sites. This included the training and the one-on-one between the SME and the other engineers assigned to help load it. I had two people in Europe and Asia who collectively learned how to roll stuff out. If they rolled it out, they understood the chemistry of how and what made it work. And then, we did group training on how to dial in certain parameters, which dialed out the noise. We didn't have one person say, "Okay. It's ready to go," we had half a dozen people actively involved in rolling it out. The workload was shared, and knowledge transfer also occurred. We got all this done within a matter of a month. We had all of our sites up and running on it. Even with the training and the segmentation of two people working in Europe, Asia, and the US, it came together very quickly.

We had six people, and it took a month to deploy Opsview, but one person could do it in two weeks. But we chose to cross-train and use about six resources scattered across the globe so that they would all be a part of rolling it out and, therefore, understand it to be able to tweak it where it needs to be tweaked and generate custom reports. That part of it took an extra couple of weeks, but it was because we made it a directive that not one person would be responsible for this. It was supposed to be the team that would be responsible for this.

The initial setup of Opsview is straightforward.

As per my understanding, the deployment process is very straightforward.

The setup was straightforward and easy; the configuration was a little more complex but that was easily rectified with training.

When we moved to the cloud, it was easy. However, we had to seek support, which took some time. But the initial setup on premises is a bit hectic, and the upgrade process is quite extensive. Opsview made it very complex, and I'm not sure why. It should be a little more straightforward, simply put.

I would rate my experience a three out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

The initial setup was somewhat complex, particularly importing our existing Nagios configuration into Opsview. We also deployed with several worker nodes.

We have to set it up again because we're migrating and upgrading, which is complex with many moving pieces. We're moving from v4 to v5 and I have to learn the differences and the underlying components.

Without prior experience, setup would be pretty complex. v5, however, offers an auto-installation function, making new installations a whole lot easier. The problem is that we have existing employees still using v4, so the auto-installation doesn't work for them, and we need to get down into the nitty gritty.

The initial setup was straightforward. We found the installation guides provided on the Opsview website clear, and after some additional discussion of our plans with the Opsview staff, we established a master/slave high-availability configuration without any particular problem. We incorporated the Opsview Agent RPMs into our patching and new-server-build channels and populated our entire monitored-server base quickly and without problem.

As with all new products we have had a few teething issues. As we have expanded and gained experience with the product our lessons learned have made things easier.

It was easy since Opsview provided a working Ubuntu package, and a good how-to.

The setup of the product itself was quite simple. A great deal of development was needed to recreate the custom checks that had been performed by our previous in-house monitoring system.

Setup was straightforward. Population of checked hosts was automated, thanks to the RESTful Web API. We added multiple hosts and check configurations this way.

Considering the complexity of our network, it wasn't hard to install. It would be preferable if you have some Linux knowledge prior to the implementation.

The setup of our original CORE version required some thought. However, the use of MySQL as the backend facilitated a very easy upgrade to our current Enterprise version. There was no requirement to reconfigure hosts, services, groups, etc.

It's straightforward, perhaps because I used it before, but this version is super easy to install. I followed the instructions on the website and the installation was pretty much automated.

The setup is easier now than before, and it looks like v5.0 is more straightforward. There's a definite improvement there.

The initial setup is straightforward if the documentation is correct.

Although we needed a complex distributed setup (our network is segmented so we needed distributed servers) the ease with which you can deploy Opsview made this a relative easy task. View full review »

Initial setup was midway between straightforward and complex.
