Improves infrastructure planning by helping us analyze network traffic
We use SevOne to collect and report on network flows SevOne improves infrastructure planning by helping us analyze network traffic. We can look at bandwidth for specific endpoints on the customer's network and analyze traffic to identify issues. For example, maybe some connectors are unavailable.…

Improved our IT efficiency and problem resolution capabilities but MDM integration needs improvement
A lot of it is the ability to tell me what the problem is, even if it's a hardware or software error. The diagnosis is really nice, and it's enough for my technician to arrive with the right parts to fix it the first time. We don't need that extra truck roll. The fact that it can tell us which part to take with us, the most likely part that we need to replace, is a huge benefit. From an internal IT perspective, the integrations are really easy. Most of them can be done by even a tier-one technician. It's very straightforward: you click where it tells you to click, you do what it tells you to do, and it works.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Another useful feature is that SevOne gives you real-time insights into your network performance. It polls every five minutes. That is important for our customers because there are some network teams that are always monitoring their networks."
"Flexible architecture: You can extend the system and its capacity by attaching another cluster pair."
"It also gives us the closest thing to real-time insight into network performance that we have, with just a 10-second delay. It's very important for us to know the health of the infrastructure very quickly."
"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."
"I like SevOne's network flow reporting."
"The out of the box reports and workflows are pretty good and they meet our requirements well."
"It's given us the ability to create various real-time network performance reports and distribute them to any colleague who can access these reports immediately."
"The monitoring of the network is very customizable. That is its unique feature."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The stability is good. Our systems have been up for over two years without any stability issues."
"It is a product that is very easy to learn."
 

Cons

"The reports are easy to configure but they are a bit outdated in terms of appearance and visualization."
"The one area with room for improvement is probably administration. They added data insights to make a better user experience, but I'd like to see some improvements in the way the system's administered."
"The method of searching for SIP and the way to create the groups."
"Telemetry is hot these days, and IBM can improve SevOne's support for telemetry correction. Reporting is another feature that could be better. It provides the bare minimum functionality, which is good enough for most engineers, but the management isn't advanced. The new portal provides a much lighter view and better visualization, but the management is not so good."
"Software upgrades can be tricky is not easy."
"The GUI: both the dashboard/user view and the admin tool."
"The customizations are very hard. The person doing it has to be very good at analytics and has to be very good in all languages"
"NMS has several areas for improvement. It should be more user-friendly inside of NMS for some of the functionality in there. It's been getting better the last version or two, but the there have been bugs in there whenever I've gone to new versions."
"At times, there is degradation in performance."
"In Kaseya, agents are shown as offline at times, and it is an area that is being improved."
"I would like to see MDM integration improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is not expensive. We were able to negotiate with SevOne on pricing."
"It is inexpensive compared to other monitoring tools."
"Have a bank of licenses, because it is about the number of objects (RAM, ports, CPU, etc.)."
"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."
"A blocking point is the high upfront cost because it is challenging to get it accepted and the purchase approved."
"There are different options available for licensing, with the per-device option being more expensive but more flexible."
"There are cheaper solutions available."
"Pricing is okay and negotiable."
"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
