Featured Reviews

ClaudioSalgado - PeerSpot reviewer
Has proactive monitoring with predictive insights and a user-friendly interface
Some of the most valuable features of CloudIQ include its health status alerts, which allow you to see quickly if there is something that needs immediate attention, preventing the need to check each system individually. It provides a status with traffic light colors, where red indicates danger, yellow means attention is needed, and green represents normal conditions to easily understand the health of the environment. The quick overview aids in decision-making. Additionally, CloudIQ's predictive capabilities, which are enhanced by artificial intelligence, have improved operational efficiency by providing proactive information to prevent issues before they arise.
Siddharth_Jain - PeerSpot reviewer
Filters the noise and consolidating alerts into a single situation report
Moogsoft's integration options are somewhat limited. It primarily relies on webhooks and APIs for data input, meaning external systems must push data to Moogsoft; it cannot pull data independently. If I want to connect CloudWatch or Prometheus to Moogsoft, I have to write custom code on the Prometheus side to send data through Moogsoft’s APIs or webhooks. Other monitoring tools like Splunk and Dynatrace typically have agents that reside on the system, automatically collecting and sending data. This difference can create challenges for teams needing seamless integration. Although Moogsoft has developed some plugins, such as those for Grafana and Zabbix, that are ready to use, they don’t have comprehensive support for every tool. Splunk has developed an AI assistant that can answer your queries and everything else. Moogsoft lacks that. Dynatrace has this AI component that will identify things on its own. On the other end, Moogsoft, you must set up the workflow. You have to come and set up the cookbooks. ServiceNow also has good event correlation. Splunk is fantastic with the event correlation.

Pros

"Some of the most valuable features of CloudIQ include its health status alerts, which allow you to see quickly if there is something that needs immediate attention, preventing the need to check each system individually."
"It's convenient because you can access it from a mobile device without needing a laptop."
"The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."
"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"CloudIQ allows us to monitor our servers centrally, and we can receive notifications in case of issues, like a potential hard drive failure."
"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"I like the prediction features."
"The operations are familiar with how to use Moogsoft, so they are keeping it."
"There are AI features in Moogsoft. Moogsoft has one wonderful feature that allows you to convert multiple alarms into situations. Generally, all other MoM tools get the alarms, and then convert it into an incident directly. There is one extra layer they have added before converting any alarm into an incident. Suppose there are multiple alarms that are somehow all related to a single source of issue. It converts all the alarms into a single situation, which then gets converted into an incident."
"The product currently seems to be a few steps ahead of the competition."
"The AI component allows you to check previous cases and diagnose problems easily."
"Moogsoft's most valuable features are event management, correlation, and observability."
"Incident management is streamlined with Moogsoft. One standout feature is its unique situation-creation capability, differentiating it from other fault management tools. While other tools typically convert alarms directly into tickets or incidents, Moogsoft adds a middle layer where multiple alarms can be aggregated into one incident. Moogsoft's strong AI capabilities also allow it to correlate similar alarms automatically based on past experiences."
"Moogsoft helps manage alert fatigue by consolidating various alerts into a single portal instead of monitoring them across different devices, allowing team members to own alerts and monitor them efficiently, which benefits the whole team."
 

Cons

"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."
"The process of upgrading could be streamlined."
"The main limitation of CloudIQ is that it is intended to be used exclusively with Dell hardware."
"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"Getting through support has become a difficult thing. Dell's support has degraded since they took over EMC. It's a bit difficult to use."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"The documentation and flexibility for generic integration could be improved."
"It is taking a long time to set it up and could do more to roll out quickly."
"Sometimes Moogsoft experiences stability issues due to bugs or internal problems, leading to downtime, which the Mulesoft team addresses."
"Moogsoft is dependent on external products to do orchestration and SOP-based functionality."
"The unsupervised learning algorithms in Moogsoft are valuable, but the learning processes, run book creation, and neural feedback areas could be improved."
"Some additional API interfacing would be great to enable getting the data out of AIOps programmatically."
"I would like to see additional reports or information on the dashboard that includes metrics about CPU usage and memory."
"I would like to see more integrations. It is rather difficult to install the enterprise systems with the agents."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe it is a free product because we don't pay for it."
"The solution is more expensive than NetApp which offers file systems in various price ranges."
"Moogsoft's licensing is consumption-based, so the price may increase depending on the environment."
"The solution is very good from a business impact point of view, but it's quite expensive because it's an enterprise-grade solution."
"When compared to other solutions, it is quite good."
"As for pricing, Moogsoft recently updated their pricing model, and we're still evaluating it. It's an area where clarity is needed with the new alert-based pricing model."
"It's a very cost-effective and competitive product."
