I did some stuff with Tivoli from IBM. Pandora has advantages in terms of price and extendability. Tivoli is a bit better at correlation handling. The correlation engine was stronger in the IBM product.

We used Centreon before Pandora FMS. We chose Pandora FMS because it has more opportunities with SAP monitoring, and that was our main objective.

We tried a few different products at the time. We had a quick look at Nagios, which was config-based as opposed to a database. Pandora FMS seemed to offer the easiest way to monitor. 

The other products were on a smaller scale. We had some products that just dropped an agent and sent you an email straight from that server but nothing central.

I used to use different software for my previous job. I didn't switch software, rather I just switched jobs.

This is my first time with monitoring software.

I've never worked with another tool. We saw the information about this product on its blog, and we decided to take the risk and started using it.

We chose to move to this solution due to how cost effective it is, and how easy it is to use.

We used SolarWinds before switching to this solution.

I have used OpenNMS and Zabbix. I switched to Pandora because it is more intuitive and there is more documentation in Spanish.

I have not previously used a monitoring tool beyond one that we designed in-house.

We used Zabbix in the past and deprecated it because its interface lacks usability. The reporting & alerting capabilities were just inferior.

I changed solutions because Pandora FMS is an all-in-one solution that is cost-efficient.

I have used HP OpenView solutions, Micro Focus ITOM products, and Zabbix.
