So basically, the money that we consume is based on the amount of time we are using a service.""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."

Cons
"The graphical user interface needs to be improved from version to version.""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.""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.""ControlUp could improve the integration. Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop monitoring has better integration.""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.""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."

More ControlUp Cons →

"In future iterations of this solution, there is a desire for more seamless integration with other monitoring software.""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.""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."

    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.”
