Centreon Reviews

I primarily use Centreon for monitoring networks, servers, systems, and some automations, including DevOps tools like Prometheus. We monitor and configure servers, and if any services or automations are down, we create tickets from ServiceNow. We also manage downtimes during upgrades.

The poller features and host services are the most valuable for me. The downtime feature is very helpful for monitoring. We have only four pollers and most hosts are configured with them. If we add or remove any hosts, we must update the poller manually. Automating this would be beneficial. The network monitoring aspect includes access point switches and firewalls' monitoring. Identifying downtime issues with switches or firewalls is useful. Centreon's real-time monitoring, despite having some manual aspects, supports us in managing our operations effectively.

Centreon is primarily used as a monitoring tool. I work in IT, providing Windows and Linux support, so I mainly handle Windows server support along with application-level support. We configure services on Centreon, and it alerts us if any service is down, necessitating manual intervention. Besides monitoring, we use Centreon to measure and track server performance and availability. Basic alerts, like ping alerts, notify us when a server is down or unreachable through RDP, helping us track server availability. Centreon allows us to create custom dashboards for different IT teams, ensuring they see only relevant alerts, avoiding clutter from unrelated server alerts.

I appreciate Centreon's user-friendly interface, which is much less overwhelming than Icinga's. Its custom view feature allows us to focus on manageable servers, preventing irrelevant alerts from cluttering the dashboard. Additionally, Centreon's ease of integration stands out, as we only need to configure polar settings and port openings, unlike the lengthy process with Icinga. Centreon's user-friendly dashboard and minimal resource requirements lead to significant time and cost savings. Monitoring is a fundamental pillar of technical support, and Centreon streamlines this process, reducing the need for extensive manual checks.

We are using Centreon for monitoring devices, both LAN and WAN devices. There are subsidiaries for my company, so if any devices go down or there are any service alerts, we receive alerts through Centreon.

Centreon allows us to monitor all of our devices on one platform. We are currently monitoring seven companies' LAN and WAN devices, which is very good because there is no need to monitor multiple platforms. We can just see everything on one platform. It also provides the number of hosts and services that are up or down. We can set downtime for maintenance activities or power outages so that no alerts will be shown during those periods.

I use the solution in my company for our supervision purposes. In my company, we supervise all of the infrastructure with the tool. It is a monitoring tool.

The most valuable feature of the solution is that most of its plug-ins are free.

We're a software solutions provider using Centreon to monitor a client's database, application, and web servers. The system sends an email alert when something goes wrong. 

Currently, we only have one customer using Centreon. Our client is a global automobile manufacturer headquartered in Europe. Our customer was already using Centreon when we started working with them. They approached us about upgrading and perfecting their system. We've also pitched this solution to another car manufacturer based in Germany. 

Centreon helps us monitor our client's systems in real-time using fewer people. Our client is happy with the product because it helps them cut costs. Everything is automatic. Centreon helps measure service performance by modeling IT service maps for critical IT workflows. 

The primary benefit is prevention. Centreon helps us identify and address issues before the system goes down. It reduces related costs by about a third. 

We use Centreon to monitor the server and network devices. It also provides reporting that informs our capacity planning with regard to storage on the server disk. We use it on-premises. We have a central server and around 14 monitoring pollers on the remote side that report to the main server.

I'm the monitoring administrator, so I set up some dashboards for my colleagues and users in the IT department that are customized to provide the information they want to see. They want to look at network devices and create a map of the equipment that allows them to see usage and if something has broken down. 

Centreon's ability to model IT service maps has been crucial for us. It enables us to get a quick look at our business needs. Centreon can measure the service performance to show if everything is working well. 

We use it for monitoring our software for illegal components. We look to Centreon to provide a visual representation of the availability of a service.

We use the soluton's dashboard for L1, L2, and L3 IT support. We set alarms and then support can look at the interface to see which element is causing an alarm. It is useful for monitoring and seeing, in a graphical way, what the cause is.

The software shows the data structure with other elements that represent the state of the software. With Centreon, we have automated the way we check for the check file and it automatically creates alarms in our ITSM system.

Firstly, it was used to start monitoring the desktop computers of the company and all of the servers, systems, and desktop applications. Secondly, it was used for monitoring the company's network. Lastly, it was used to monitor the company's applications.

Most of the time we solicit engineers and other experts in IT when something doesn't work. When everything works, everyone considers that normal. It is a critical app and a critical piece of equipment in our organization. Being able to anticipate and act before there is big trouble is better for our business and for the image of the company. There's no point to wait until there is a problem in the company, if you can avoid it. In many French companies, many people don't understand that part.
