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.
RichardG - PeerSpot reviewer
Effortlessly blends management systems for comprehensive infrastructure insight
ServiceNow IT Operations Management brought together Intune and SCCM or MECM really well. It provided out-of-the-box integrations, requiring only minimal effort, typically a couple of days, to massage those systems into a seamless operation. Additionally, the performance analytics of ServiceNow was especially beneficial for setting thresholds, aggregating, and correlating infrastructure data.

"CloudIQ allows us to monitor our servers centrally, and we can receive notifications in case of issues, like a potential hard drive failure."
"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."
"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."

"It provided out-of-the-box integrations, requiring only minimal effort, typically a couple of days, to massage those systems into a seamless operation."
"The Discovery feature is the most valuable. I only use the Discovery and Service Mapping features. I am using the minor subscription called ITOM Visibility, which includes the Discovery and Service Mapping features. It is easy to understand and easy to use. It has a lot of documentation. You can find a lot of help online, which helps me in finding what I need in a rapid way. You can find videos on YouTube channels and a lot of stuff and information in the online community."
"It is flexible. You can tune it, more or less, as you want."
"The solution allows you to subscribe to the features you need and utilize CMDB, ITSM, and discovery on the same platform."
"Provides everything in one solution."
 

Cons

"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."

"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."

"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."
"If you are new to using the solution, you will find the setup complex."
"The solution's subscription model could be improved."
"I would like more manual issues to have automated report-facing options."
"There are not enough apps in the app store to expand functionality. There should be more made available."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management could be improved by providing more user customization options."
"The initial setup phase was hard and could be made easier."
"I advise others not to customize a lot while using the solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is more expensive than NetApp which offers file systems in various price ranges."
"The pricing is high and may be excluding the small to medium-sized enterprise businesses."
"The solution offers yearly licenses and a subscription model for add-on features."
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
"This solution offers good value but comes at a very high premium. Pricing could be reduced by 10 to 20%."
"The solution is costly compared to the products offered by its competitors."
"While not entirely sure, I believe the solution costs at least a million dollars annually."
"The price of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is expensive."
"My customers pay for the ServiceNow IT Operations Management license annually. I'd rate the pricing based on value. ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a premium product as it has better features than competitors."
