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.

It's easy to use.

You can use it across various clouds (such as Azure and AWS).

Zenoss is one of the most complete monitoring tools on the market.

Technical support is good and can support in multiple languages.

The stability is good.

It can scale. 

One of the most valuable features is the way it tries to discover technologies. It doesn't use any out-of-the-box things. It specifically uses the available, standard protocols, like TCP, UDP, WMI, and WinRM. It makes use of whatever underlying technologies are there. That is one advantage of being an agentless monitoring tool.

It has also accommodated many state-of-the-art technologies, such as Docker and ZooKeeper.

In addition, it gives you a lot of handy options to integrate with external systems.

Being Linux-based, it's easier for me to customize and co-ordinate, because I have a Linux-based background.

The custom built integration is one of the most valuable features because you can see all the especially critical items. You can choose to ignore others or to take action. It's good when all the notifications are coming into one system. You can take action if needed.

Its Docker Container concept is mind blowing. It is the first monitoring tool which comes with Docker features.

The most valuable feature is the flexible discovery mechanism.

The solution has a variety of great features.

The dashboard is excellent. With it, I can see everything from one place. It gives me a full picture of my networks and I can quickly see if there are any trouble areas to note.

The user experience is excellent.

Within the solution is a piece of software called Twill, which is very good. It's like dynamic monitoring. Twill provides a great user experience. I can put the URL from a website and I can send the user and password on that. 

Overall, it's a great solution, and I consider it to be one of the best.

The initial setup is very easy.

The product offers good documentation that helps with initial training.
