We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Integration with Netscaler and Scoutbees can provide a proper end-to-end analysis of the user's experience and give us a real ROI.""The most valuable features in ControlUp are endpoint monitoring and the many features that are available.""It shows you so many details of what's going on in that log-on that, if there's a problem, you can identify it in five minutes.""ControlUp has an easy installation process.""The most valuable feature is the granularity of visibility into the resources that are in use by our applications.""The script-based actions have allowed us to extend the core reporting capabilities.""It has a great career time monitoring tool.""Security, uptime, and reduced capital expenditures are the main reasons we use ControlUp. So basically, the money that we consume is based on the amount of time we are using a service."

More ControlUp Pros →

"If you have a lot of devices, like we do, then you have to have one single pane of view, otherwise we lose too much time. So, we needed this type of solution.""The OneView Global Dashboard is very user-friendly and it can be used for monitoring the power consumption and temperature of the data center and racks.""By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed.""Just the ability to provision the servers with storage and network everything within one interface, not having to go into multiple interfaces to provision those pieces.""It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us.""Deploys faster new virtual services.""Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards.""Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."

Cons
"ControlUp could improve the integration. Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop monitoring has better integration.""This solution be improved by including load throttling tools. For example, I can identify a service where we spend a lot of CPU but I cannot restrict the service from ControlUp. I have to use another tool like AppSense.""Something I would love to see from a partner perspective would be maybe a way to do this in a surface hosting provider.""Integration is always a problem, and we feel that we are doing our best and the service provider thinks they are doing their best. I guess if ControlUp's system could be more capable or if people could understand the integration part, that would be better.""It can be improved by including script-based scheduling.""Solve is a quick and intuitive tool for quickly mapping data together, however, once you have the view of the data that you like, it is difficult to share this with colleagues.""The most common complaint that I have heard, at least within our organization, is about reporting. They have their own reporting. It's just that it doesn't yet include everything that you can look at within the application. You can only report on specific metrics or collections.""We'd like to see the mobile app working again so that we can get alerts 24/7. This is especially useful for the person on call."

More ControlUp Cons →

"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware.""Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster.""The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface.""The solution's console can be improved by making it more user-friendly and adding the capability to filter the reports out using only the information required.""Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView.""I would like to see support for things that aren't in the current generation. We have a lot of 7th and 8th generation hardware.""We've had issues, for example, with RAM.""We ran into a couple of issues here and there with the baselines for the firmware and not having enough space on the appliance itself to be able to have more than two baselines."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the ControlUp solution.

    A Chair, IEEE Consumer Technology Society - Dallas,Texas, USA at a non-profit says, “In terms of the public cloud, ControlUp's features make us feel very secure. Security, uptime, and reduced capital expenditures are the main reasons we use ControlUp. So basically, the money that we consume is based on the amount of time we are using a service. ControlUp offers a return-on-investment type of approach that helps us.”

    A VP Virtualisation and Citrix Engineer at BlackRock mentions, “Solve is quickly becoming one of the most-used features. Its interface allows us to connect to all 54,000 monitored endpoints in real-time. The script-based actions have allowed us to extend the core reporting capabilities. Combined with the triggers, we have been growing their usage to fix things before they become an issue. Lastly, the controller view allows us to compare the configurations of settings side-by-side which is extremely helpful when tracking down the RCA of an issue.”

    A Senior Citrix Remote Access Engineer at Rabobank comments, “The high-level view of the estate coupled with powerful administration tools has been great. We can see real-time performance and trends and can create triggers for common issues with associated scripts that can automate a lot of the previous manual remediation steps.”
