Good log file monitoring, events correlation but is quite expensive
We use this solution primarily to monitor servers, to do some log file monitoring, events correlation, and events duplication as well as dashboarding We have a bunch of critical servers and applications. We are able to monitor using this product to create a dashboard and have automatic alerts to…

Customizable, useful policies, and reliable
We use PagerDuty for alerting and escalations. We have it integrated with our monitoring tools PagerDuty integrates well with many other monitoring applications, it provides us with a centralized view of what can be configured in terms of escalations, and who's on call.  We can control who is…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I've found the solution to be very scalable."
"I find the Micro Focus Operations Bridge dashboard valuable, including its instrument analysis and anomaly control features that help indicate root causes and problems with your infrastructure."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"The most valuable feature is that everything can be consolidated into one dashboard."
"From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have. It's an amazing piece of software."
"It is stable."
"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."
"OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."
"PagerDuty is very stable and very reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the phone app that allows us to send notifications without the additional fees when sending by SMS or phone calls."
"Alert deduplication and noise reduction for alerts are the major features that I found useful."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the flexibility of the schedule. The mobile app is quite also good for what we do: for receiving alerts, acknowledging, assigning, adding new responders. It has rich features for our needs."
"The SMS pages and the mobile application are pretty much the top two features."
"PagerDuty's best features are the dedicated application that allows me to reach my engineers immediately and the ability to directly assign specific tasks to individuals and have them report back."
"It has scaled well for us."
"The initial setup is a simple process."
 

Cons

"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
"The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."
"The price is quite expensive, and because of this, we may try another solution."
"The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it."
"Our issues are largely support related due to where we are and the knowledge base that we have here. This issue relates both HPE in general and to the technical products."
"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."
"The user interface could be more intuitive."
"The biggest area for improvement with PagerDuty is noise suppression. There have been a handful of incidents through our use of PagerDuty over the years where one incident may lead to 30 to 50 pages because you're monitoring all these different things, and each thing is an individual page. There should be the ability to set up paging tiers and group correlations between some of the different pages. That is something that would be really valuable. We should be able to say this one page may have a group or a tree of effective other pages that may tier off of it. So, if you see those pages independently, go ahead and alarm, but if you see this plus that, don't do that."
"I would like to see more content in the notification messages; although, that might be a configuration on our end."
"There is room for improvement with the time schedule. The way the schedule currently works is you assign all the team members in one schedule and it automatically spreads them around throughout the schedule... It would be better to be able to edit the schedule and place my team members where I want, or at least to have that option in addition to the automatic process."
"I am not a direct end user of PagerDuty. It's hard to consider its shortcomings in that sense."
"This solution works best in conjunction with a proper logging system, which can be an additional cost to organizations."
"PagerDuty can improve the integration with Terraform."
"It’s quite hard to reach the support team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
"The licensing model for Micro Focus Operations Bridge is unit-based so it can be one device or ten devices depending on your situation or model. Cost-wise, it's much more if you have more devices and features such as infrastructure monitoring, analytic dashboard, and business dashboard in your model."
"As OpsBridge is a suite of products bundled together, you may find yourself paying for software functionality that you don't actually use, e.g. Real User Monitor (RUM)."
"It is competitive."
"The cost is very high."
"The licensing cost for this solution is approximately $1,000 USD."
"They're very good in pricing compared to the competitors in the area. I would rate them a five out of five in terms of pricing."
"If you add more people, then you have to pay more, which is always a thing with the SaaS solutions."
"Licensing costs are around $700 a month, and the only additional costs, are phone costs in some instances."
"The solution is paid on a monthly basis and represents about 1% of the platform's budget."
"There is a license needed to use PagerDuty."
"The cost is based on the package you select."
"The pricing may be about $1,000 per user."
"The cost is quite high. But if you want to get a full-featured application and you have a big team..."
