OSS Engineer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
A powerful service that is very stable and scalable
It's a very powerful service, you have to use your training and understand how to work it. After that, it's very easy to collect and to use. It may be hard to use for the administrators. It's like a Ferrari, if you're a very good driver you'll go to 300 but you have to know how to drive it. If you have a Ferrari but you don't know how to use it, it's not going to be good. Also, it's very important to understand what the customer needs to decide on what kind of products you are going to use, and what product and what solution to implement. I would rate the solution nine out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SevOne really did a number for us, during the pandemic, of isolating which load balances were overloaded with users working from home, so that right there was worth its weight in gold because the management created all these reports for load balancers for access for remote workers and that's all they focused on for a couple of months."
"We have benefited mainly from the use of the dashboard interface. It makes the network visually interesting for other people who are not in the network. A lot of people are not network techies who understand streams in the network. Based on location, we have streams coming in and out. They can see visually when there is some problem. They don't need to understand all the network technology behind it to be able to understand if everything is working well or if there is a problem."
"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 is like a Swiss Army Knife."
"The most valuable feature is the NMS because that's the core of the system. Without the NMS, the other tools aren't that usable."
"In summary, for our requirement, SevOne does pretty much what we ask and does it very well."
"It's a great solution for highlighting and discovering useful information regarding our network's elements."
"The SMP and the xStats, which is for flat file integration, are both useful for integrating the various metrics that the device provides to monitor the performance of those systems."
"My experience with technical support has been perfect."
"The product is excellent."
 

Cons

"The GUI: both the dashboard/user view and the admin tool."
"If you want one tool for everything this should not be considered."
"The support is excellent, but the features are average."
"The tool needs improvement in non-Cisco SD-WAN."
"It needs a platform to add portals."
"There are a lot of pain points. My main problem is that we don't have a high availability system."
"User-friendly, multi-tenancy."
"The UI is a little dated, but it doesn’t cause any features to fall short of what they need to do."
"However, the license is expensive."
"The presentation of the features can be improved. It can be more user-friendly for the visual part of the portal and to allow the customer to be able to use."
"The presentation of the features can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are cheaper solutions available."
"It is inexpensive compared to other monitoring tools."
"There are different options available for licensing, with the per-device option being more expensive but more flexible."
"Prices per license are not huge, but they exist."
"Although I don't have exact details in terms of cost, my experience has been that SevOne is willing to make a deal with the customer."
