Meets the needs of the customer but all of the features need improvement
I do not choose the solution. The client does. I am an implementer. We are systems integrators. It is worth mentioning that the solution should be easy to install and offer the user exhibition capabilities. Also, a data sheet should be used to gather information about the product, to facilitate easy and simple implementation. I rate CA Unified Communications Monitor as a five out of ten.

Provides robust infrastructure monitoring with excellent integrations and alert predictions but needs improved AIOps capabilities
If we treat OpsRamp as an infrastructure monitoring tool, there are many positive aspects. However, when viewed as an AIOps tool, there are numerous potential additions. Currently, it performs infrastructure monitoring but has limited capability in application monitoring, which needs improvement. They are introducing observability as a feature where metrics, logs, and traces can be implemented, but this is currently in a primitive state that can grow over time. The platform is very stable, and the UI is excellent. However, regarding AIOps features, enhancements could be made to provide more value, such as dynamic thresholding and other capabilities that competitor tools have, such as LogicMonitor.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For us, it's very key to know the voice quality of the total solution, which is based on many components across many domains."
"We use the solution to meet the needs of the customer."
"Good end-to-end monitoring"
"We use the solution to meet the needs of the customer."
"The feature that we have found most useful are the dashboards, which can be built in minutes using this solution, allowing multiple products, thresholds, or any given required metric to be seen in a single area."
"Predictive analysis is a valued feature."
"It is a pretty stable solution."
"Most features work fine."
"The most valuable features of OpsRamp include a single pane of glass, event correlation, personalized dashboards, and a single platform solution."
"The feature we found most valuable in OpsRamp is alert generation because whenever there is any kind of spike on any virtual machine, the solution generates alerts based on the thresholds we implemented. We have integrated our ideas and tools with OpsRamp, so alerts are generated, then we notify the customers. That's the main feature we like about OpsRamp because we don't have to monitor each resource. Instead, OpsRamp does the monitoring for us, and it generates the alerts based on the thresholds."
"We don't have to monitor each resource because OpsRamp does the monitoring for us and generates alerts based on the thresholds, so we can automatically notify customers of any spikes on their virtual machines."
"The multi-tenant architecture capability of OpsRamp has helped me streamline and improve the processes within my organization."
 

Cons

"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."
"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."
"All the features and functions of the solution can be improved."
"All the features and functions of the solution can be improved, specifically the user experience."
"The user interface of this product requires some changes as it is not inclusively user-friendly. For example, the performance indicators are color-based , which means that they are confusing for anyone who is color blind."
"What's lacking in OpsRamp is process automation, and if there is, I wish there could be more of it, other than just spikes, or it would be better if the alerts can be generated based on different matrices."
"OpsRamp could improve the critical alerts. We have been receiving some false alerts when monitoring. For example, the alert shows the site is down, but when we try to do manual access to the URL, it's accessible."
"We would like this solution to be developed into a full CMP tool, so that we are able to use a single product for all of our cloud management needs."
"Currently, it performs infrastructure monitoring but has limited capability in application monitoring, which needs improvement."
"The function to search any particular device within this solution needs to be improved. Currently, the solution develops a lag when a search, or a comparison, is being carried out."
"Technical support should be improved, and I have noticed other areas in OpsRamp that could be improved or enhanced."
"There is definitely room for improvement."
