Customizable solution that provides the ability to ingest alerts from different systems
The price could be cheaper. That was one reason why we switched to PagerDuty. We wanted to switch to something that provided the same features but at a lower cost. We also switched because PagerDuty provided other features like integration with ServiceNow and the scheduling of engineers. Evanios was only for event integration. Evanios created too much noise. For every alert, it would create an incident. We received too many alerts and incidents from monitoring. It wasn't able to intelligently ingest alerts. It created 4,000 incident tickets in a month, which didn't reflect what was happening. If we received an alert, the synthetic monitoring and volume drop would give us the same alert. Evanios should include alert ingestion and de-duplication of alerts and noise reduction. We couldn't have people resolving each and every incident. PagerDuty gives us reports on how many alerts are being ingested, how many are noise, how many have bigger incidents, and which of the alerts are creating noise. It would be helpful if Evanios had metrics on the amount of alerts and types of the alerts to show which ones were serious incidents and which ones were just noise.

Aids in network performance monitoring and management
I am working as a customer, mainly using IntelliQ and another product, IBM NetCool, Watson AI. These products are used for monitoring network performance and management.  The primary use case involves network performance monitoring, and it is compatible only with IBM DB2 IBM Tivoli NetCool…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Evanios has helped us reduce our incident count by about 60% in just three months into implementation and we are seeing great ROI right from the first month."
"Evanios has in some areas provided up to a 90% noise reduction in some our noisy monitoring tools."
"The ability to manipulate events via JavaScript getting the exact data that we want."
"So far, the amount of IT hours to maintain and support has dropped dramatically."
"Creation of incidents was previously a manual process with lots of copy and paste, swivel chair, mistakes, and missed events, and everything is now automated with events correlated and deduplicated, as well as crosschecks against scheduled change outages."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with various alert-generating systems because you might have synthetic alerts or monitoring alerts for volume drops."
"Incredible ROI: As soon as we switched to Evanios, we started seeing events that were being unknowingly suppressed in our previous solution."
"Offers very good event/alert drill-down and statistical reporting capabilities."
"Probes are the best feature because they are well written which rarely requires you to write additional rules. These probes monitor activity within your environment."
"OMNIbus is valuable for its compatibility and performance, as I haven't encountered any performance issues."
"The biggest plus points for me are the configurability and scalability of the solution, as well as the multi-tenancy of the platform."
"Overall, this is a great tool and one that I recommend but it depends on the cost."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"It's good for managed systems. The end query on the user interface is good. You can view lots of charts and graphs."
"Very stable tool and good for all types of event integration and automation."
 

Cons

"We would like the ability to have an "exit" option for events when they are being processed."
"The price could be cheaper."
"System information and status (easy to read for all levels of IT) Clearer instructions on setting up alert notifications to support staff in the event of an issue with product: There are some instructions on their support site but I'm looking for something a little more detailed to understand the flow of events (expected compared to unexpected)."
"There were initially some minor issues around domain separation in ServiceNow."
"More complex correlation rules would be nice. The ability to clearly define a parent event in a correlation and nested correlations, specifically."
"Evanios created too much noise. For every alert, it would create an incident."
"Based on my experience and my colleagues' feedback, IBM can improve IBM Tivoli NetCool OMNIbus in automation with respect to using AI, as it lacks considerably compared to other tools."
"Areas that could be better include the fact that the solution is only on-premises, lacks AI capabilities, and support response times could be quicker."
"Its GUI can also be better. As compared to other tools, it is not user friendly, and it is not easy to do stuff through GUI."
"They could enhance the visibility to give us a unified view of our entire IT infrastructure."
"The solution needs to invest in the development of a knowledge base and use of AI services for providing event resolution and intervention directions."
"Its technical support team takes longer to reply."
"The cost of the product is quite high. They should work to adjust their pricing models."
"There should be an easier-to-understand model, more of a flat-structured model rather than different tiers of licenses which complicates licensing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"You have to have the right level of budget to afford this solution."
"It is a costly solution."
"Its license cost is a little bit more than other solutions. Our customers expect a standard market price that is comparative to other products. For each and every NetCool OMNIbus component, we have to purchase a separate license. These components are not free with the product."
