Utilize artificial intelligence for faster issue response and seamless ITSM integration
The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features. These capabilities help us gather more information and analyze it faster, leading to better responses to issues. The tool is also excellent at integrating with ITSM services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.

Real-time dashboards have improved our deployment monitoring and incident response
We are using Opsview ourselves, rather than being a consultant or a reseller. We do not use its auto-discovery feature. We do not utilize its API driven architecture. I do not know what metrics we use to assess the effectiveness of Opsview's hybrid IT monitoring. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with Opsview as it is good for what it does. I do not know if Grafana has any other advantages besides better stats, as I am not involved in that side. Based on my experience, I would still recommend Opsview to others as it is good for what it does. I gave this review a rating of 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think eG Innovations has created a nifty tool to make our lives a lot easier, now we just have to implement end to end monitoring to be able to use this tool."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"Customer service is fantastic!! They are very responsive and always follow up to ensure a solution has been provided."
"Customer service and support are superb."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"Excellent level of support."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features."
"There are several valuable features for us, including ease of configuration of monitoring of new hosts/services, worker redundancy and load balancing, and the fact that it’s compatible with the plethora of existing Nagios plugins available on the web."
"We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider, and we also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients."
"The multi-tenancy that's available through this is one of the most valuable things."
"Excellent customer support from Cerner."
"With the monitoring capabilities, I can tell when things happen and be proactive about them instead of constantly putting out fires."
"Opsview, though not the least expensive Nagios-based commercial monitoring product offers excellent value for performance which rivals expensive commercial products from the major IT vendors; it is well worth the money paid for it."
"Our support team are more responsive to failures and potential problems by using the Opsview Monitoring System."
"The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup."
 

Cons

"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"I can understand why they designed the user interface (UI) the way they did, but sometimes in the management of the eG Manager, it can be a bit clunky."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower."
"I can understand why they designed the user interface (UI) the way they did, but sometimes in the management of the eG Manager, it can be a bit clunky."
"In a future release, we would like to have Observ for AI. Any AI and intelligence it can add to the monitoring is obviously beneficial. We would also like to have automated callouts."
"We're already evaluating v5.0 and to tell the truth, there's a couple of things that we found really useful in previous versions that for some reason they have removed."
"It's probably the priciest option of all its main competitors."
"Some of the graphics on Opsview could be improved."
"We are starting to hit the limits of how we can scale out."
"I wish they'd update the iOS app, which, I think, is the same version I used back in 2012 or so."
"Hard to say, some minor changes could help improve ease of configuring (which have already been requested and are now on the roadmap)."
"Often the webpage becomes inaccessible and you need to refresh the page."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They gave us a good price, when they were found out we were looking at other products because their price was very high. We were looking at another solution, then we came back to them was because they brought the price down. We selected them for three years."
"You may get some monitoring products with certain licensing you may own. Some of these can take ages to configure and setup, along with needing a license to drive the software."
"It is not expensive."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"The product is very cheap."
"There are two licensing options: Perpetual and SaaS-based. The main offering, in terms of what eG prefers to offer, is the subscription-based rather than the Perpetual License. The price could be cheaper."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"I would rate pricing a seven out of ten, where ten is the highest price."
"The solution is not cheap. I think that the pricing is a little bit on the high side."
"The solution is priced similarly to other tools offering similar features."
