Proactive failure testing has increased confidence and reliability across complex microservices
There are certain areas where I think Gremlin Reliability Management Platform can improve. I would certainly add features related to AI and GenAI for recommendations. While dependency identification works well seamlessly, deeper dependency intelligence is lacking. When you have deeper dependencies, reliability management can struggle with identifying those deeper dependency intelligences. Having the intelligence to deeply analyze dependencies will be very helpful. Regarding reliability scores, while those scores are good, having more actionable reliability scores is something I would recommend adding to the existing system. Initially, when I started with Gremlin Reliability Management Platform certification programs, I completed two certifications with Gremlin—one professional and another practitioner. While that certification has helped me, an easier onboarding and learning curve for bringing people into this program can be adjusted. That is one current gap I see. If you really look at the cost-benefit visibility, it is not very evident by using Gremlin Reliability Management Platform. If Gremlin Reliability Management Platform could help realize that and bring in visibility regarding the cost versus the benefit, that is the reason I provide a score less than ten. From a standpoint of simulating complex real-world failures, I believe there is still a gap concerning gap identification. Currently, Gremlin Reliability Management Platform mainly focuses on infrastructure-level failures and does not really simulate business logic failures, data corruption scenarios, or potential failures across regions. One of the key elements needing improvement with Gremlin Reliability Management Platform is the limited team workflow integration I see in my organization. Collaboration and limited team workflow integration are areas I would highlight as needing improvement.

Generates close to real-time alerts so users can resolve issues, but needs more integration and public cloud monitoring features
As Zenoss Service Dynamics is more for network-centric devices and you want to monitor, for example, a server, its services, IP addresses, and interfaces, if it's a network and you're going to monitor multiple items, you'll be charged multiple times. This is what Zenoss Service Dynamics needs to improve to make sure that customers pay just one fee to monitor the entire server. What I'd like to see in Zenoss Service Dynamics in the future is a public cloud monitoring feature, particularly for the Azure public cloud. Another additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is integration with the Azure public cloud because I know that there are some services from Azure that Zenoss Service Dynamics is currently unable to monitor.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are seeing a return on investment from using Gremlin Reliability Management Platform because we are getting less production issues by thirty percent, as I mentioned earlier, making it a great investment."
"Gremlin Reliability Management Platform has impacted my organization positively as it helped a lot and reduced our failures, allowing us to find critical pinpoints in our application that had existed for three to ten months and led to too many improvements, reduced downtime, and a smoother experience for our application on AWS."
"Gremlin Reliability Management Platform has positively impacted our organization by making outages less frequent and improving recovery time significantly, resulting in fewer complaints on the customer success side and overall optimization of our DevOps process."
"Gremlin Reliability Management Platform is amazing with the reliability score, providing built-in Chaos Engineering experiments that you run on your service to receive a reliability score along with insights on the issues and risks present in your service that you can examine and work on."
"Using Gremlin Reliability Management Platform has raised more than fifty percent of the reliability of the infrastructure."
"More than anything, we fix failures even before they occur, which is basically proactive risk detection and risk mitigation."
"The Enterprise Reliability Platform has positively impacted my organization as it has significantly increased the efficiency and reliability of our systems."
"Since using Gremlin Reliability Management Platform, we were able to reduce the incidents by six percent after conducting our limited experiments, and we were also able to increase the uptime from ninety-eight to ninety-nine, which represents a one percent increase in uptime."
"The custom built integration is one of the most valuable features because you can see all the especially critical items."
"What I like most about Zenoss Service Dynamics is that it monitors the devices and gives close to real-time alerts. For example, in case the device is not available, Zenoss Service Dynamics generates an alert so my team can resolve the issue."
"It's easy to use."
"It is the most flexible solution of this type, but it takes time to adapt."
"Zenoss is more complex than LogicMonitor, but scalable and hugely customizable."
"They have also accommodated many state-of-the-art technologies like Docker and ZooKeeper."
"The product offers good documentation that helps with initial training."
"Its Docker Container concept is mind blowing. It is the first monitoring tool which comes with Docker features."
 

Cons

"I rate it an eight because we are still using it on a trial and error basis, and the pricing could be optimized for better cost visibility and ROI tracking."
"I think that it will be important to have resources to perform self-directed studies on Gremlin Reliability Management Platform as an improvement."
"I think Gremlin Reliability Management Platform can be improved by integrating with more AWS services or GCP services."
"Gremlin Reliability Management Platform can be improved as the pricing is a bit expensive and the learning curve for beginners is a bit difficult."
"If you really look at the cost-benefit visibility, it is not very evident by using Gremlin Reliability Management Platform."
"It would be ideal if the product offered sound alerts."
"The inclusion of a feature to show a graphical view of the network would be a helpful improvement."
"As Zenoss Service Dynamics is more for network-centric devices and you want to monitor, for example, a server, its services, IP addresses, and interfaces, if it's a network and you're going to monitor multiple items, you'll be charged multiple times. This is what Zenoss Service Dynamics needs to improve to make sure that customers pay just one fee to monitor the entire server. What I'd like to see in Zenoss Service Dynamics in the future is a public cloud monitoring feature, particularly for the Azure public cloud. Another additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is integration with the Azure public cloud because I know that there are some services from Azure that Zenoss Service Dynamics is currently unable to monitor."
"There was a problem with Zenoss and storage monitoring."
"The AI aspect needs to improve."
"This solution is complex for beginners so it takes some time to learn."
"There is room for improvement with the administrative part. They introduced Control Center to manage things in Zenoss 5. The services that Zenoss provides remained the same, but the administrative part, since they introduced Docker, etc., has become a little complex"
"Technical support is 3/10, poor: Incomplete and poor documentation Undocumented processes Inconsistent solutions to problems depending on source"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing depends on the environment, the number of services, and the size of the data center. It can go from $100,000 to a million dollars."
"It is very cost-effective compared to the tools I worked with in the past. The company is gaining a lot with respect to the cost factor. It provides agentless monitoring and in a very cheap way."
"It depends on the customer, what he wants."
"There are additional costs you'll have to pay apart from the license fee for Zenoss Service Dynamics. I can't remember exactly how much my company is paying because I don't handle the finance part, but the cost is paid annually. On a scale of one to five, with one being the cheapest and five being the most expensive, I'm rating the solution three out of five."
