Efficient monitoring and alerting enhance operational insights
With Grafana Enterprise Stack, we can identify issues that New Relic cannot help with. While New Relic requires purchase and supports frontend and backend components, Grafana Enterprise Stack helps identify where issues are occurring. When we need to deep dive into issues, we use New Relic to trace transactions and determine where maximum impact occurs, whether in core size, DB side, or frontend components that slow performance. We first evaluate with Grafana Enterprise Stack, then move to New Relic if we identify performance degradation, such as DB queries taking too much time. Grafana Enterprise Stack responds to queries within 6 to 12 hours. They contact users through email immediately when available. Similarly, New Relic follows the same pattern, responding immediately when requests are raised and resolving issues promptly.

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

"Grafana's most valuable feature is its ability to provide a graphical representation of data collected from various sources."
"Grafana's full observability stack, known as LGTM, is highly valuable."
"Grafana has enough features around dashboard management. It's got enough plugins to create your dashboards."
"Our productivity has improved with its use."
"The most valuable features for us are dashboards; we can dashboard anything that we can think of, we can dashboard and measure."
"Compared to other packages, Grafana Enterprise Stack is user-friendly and easy to configure quickly."
"It is truly reliable."
"Grafana's full observability stack, known as LGTM, is highly valuable."
"Over the past three years, we've grown by about 200%, and the system has been able to manage that growth."
"I like its scalability thanks to slaves, as you can add as many as you want, which also allows you to reach and monitor devices running on the network that are not accessible by the master."
"Customer service is great; always responsive, within minutes at times."
"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."
"The fully-extensible event handling has enabled us to reduce on-call incidents by more than 90%."
"Very easy-to-use interface, especially starting from v5 onwards Advanced tweaking possibilities Netflow"
"For me, scalability and reliability are the product's most valuable features."
"Overall, I am pretty satisfied with Opsview as it is good for what it does."
 

Cons

"The connection between metrics, logs, and traces could be improved. Currently, one needs to ingest labels and timestamps for them to be connected, however, drilling down sometimes takes time."
"If Grafana Enterprise Stack could display transaction queries in dashboard format similar to New Relic, it would provide more options and capabilities for users."
"The tool needs to show only fewer updates."
"Integrating AI capabilities for automated self-healing and reduced manual interventions would be valuable."
"They could use more small tutorials to explain a bit about how Grafana works."
"I find Grafana really hard to configure. It's difficult to build the dashboard, and it's non-intuitive. In my opinion, it's very difficult to work with Grafana."
"In terms of what Grafana provides, it just provides the charting tools. Everything else is third-party."
"Grafana Enterprise Stack is complex and not easy or simple."
"SNMP traps management to be improved."
"I wish they'd update the iOS app, which, I think, is the same version I used back in 2012 or so."
"There is always room for improvement, and part of the reason we're looking at Grafana is because there are things it can do that Opsview cannot do as well."
"Large Opsview setups come with high licensing fees."
"In Opsview 4.6.3, there is no provision for making bulk changes to monitored servers via the GUI, though it is possible to custom-script bulk changes via the API."
"Often the webpage becomes inaccessible and you need to refresh the page."
"We have had some stability issues, but that is largely because we're using an unsupported database."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I use the tool's free license."
"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."
"I would rate pricing a seven out of ten, where ten is the highest price."
