Can be fine-tuned as required, provides real-time data but lacks sufficient machine learning capability
In terms of machine learning, there are a few areas that can be improved including short terms in the SAP system. Currently, it requires a team member to manually read the short term and then assign it to a team rather than having it assigned automatically. A downside of Avantra is that it comes with predefined values. Another issue is that identical recurring problems create duplicate tickets rather than showing them as repeats. They also need to do some kernel updates which I believe they're working on but I haven't seen it yet; I'm hoping the solution will be completely automated. I would like to see more on the machine-learning front and to have some third-party tools.

A suitable choice for unified and efficient infrastructure monitoring across diverse environments providing user-friendly GUI, cost-effectiveness, and versatility
We use it for this specific client, they've deployed multiple instances of it across various locations to facilitate monitoring. To effectively monitor their infrastructure, it seems necessary to implement additional monitoring solutions for all three types of devices they have Nagios Fusion…

Pros

Cons

"We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities."
"I think they can improve their UI, while very intuitive, I would like to see graphic updates."
"The dashboard needs to improve; it's not so clear right now and we need it to be more usable so we can have all of our reports in one easy-to-access place."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved."
"A downside of Avantra is that it comes with predefined values."
"There are some bugs, although not that many. There are some situations where the solution is not stable but the number of problems is not very high."
"Nagios Fusion should include a 'remember me' option when logging in, so we don't need to enter a username and password every time."
"Adding application performance monitoring to the product alongside infrastructure monitoring would make it a more complete and useful solution."
"Nagios Fusion should include a 'remember me' option when logging in, so we don't need to enter a username and password every time."
"In future iterations of this solution, there is a desire for more seamless integration with other monitoring software."
"There are some bugs, although not that many. There are some situations where the solution is not stable but the number of problems is not very high."
