Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Microsoft, ServiceNow and others in Server Monitoring."This is a good product and I recommend it."
"I think it's stable, scalable, and flexible."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features. They are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"Scalability. I have never had to worry about how to handle really big environments."
"The automation feature is good because if your CMDB is OK and it is already in sync, then the automation part is good to go."
"Its ability to monitor practically any type of network device via SNMP is most valuable. This is the main functionality that we're using. If a network device exposes a metric, such as interface utilization, SevOne will monitor it for us."
"SevOne has rich API capabilities, giving us the flexibility to control what we collect and customize the collection, creation, and manipulation of now metrics as necessary."
"SevOne provides support for all universal connectors. They internally work with other data sources to get features implemented. We have an SD-WAN implementation and use other app data to monitor performance. If you pull that data into one centralized location, that is very useful for management."
"The monitoring of the network is very customizable. That is its unique feature."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the scale-up and scale-down. The scale-up is an operation where the CPU boosts-up and then the memory will boost-up. That works awesomely."
"The comprehensiveness of this solution's collection of network performance and flow data is one of the basics in the field for what it does. It meets all of our needs. So for all those areas, for the most straightforward collection capabilities, right up to NetFlow and even telemetry, it meets all those demands. Not only just basic or fundamental SNMP collection capability, but the product also supports what we need for the future with telemetry streaming. So it's very comprehensive."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"I would like to see live maps as an added feature. Also, build modules on AI and EML to provide better data insights that would proactively tell us what we should be looking after."
"The reporting of NMS is good, but it could be better."
"Would benefit with the addition of AI modules for proactive data insights."
"I'm not really sure if this was the software's fault or a server issue, but a couple of years back the disks were failing on our SevOne physical server every month and the server would go down. The secondary server took over from the primary until the disk issue was resolved. That was annoying."
"The GUI: both the dashboard/user view and the admin tool."
"The reports are easy to configure but they are a bit outdated in terms of appearance and visualization."
"SevOne should work with the graphs legend functionality."
"With the administrative management of the appliance, if some object appears from SevOne because something changed in the network or whatever, then as an administrator you will not be aware. If you are using this object in a report, this object will disappear from the report and you will not be aware of it. So, if you have 1,000 reports, you cannot always check these reports everyday to see if objects are missing or information has disappeared. We don't have any information on alerts, saying that something is happening there and maybe we need to take action. If an object was replaced by another one, or if a link was replaced by another one, then the graph needs to be changed because it doesn't exist in the graph anymore. However, we don't have this information."
