It offers different licensing types that allow you to extend the services to clients; it lets you look into device performance and optimization and helps apply best practices
What I like best about IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor is that it offers different licensing types. Hence, it allows my organization to extend the services to clients and not just use the solution within the organization. My organization can leverage IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to learn more about how clients perform because the solution lets you monitor and optimize devices and apply best practices.

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.

Pros

"Easy to setup and begin monitoring."
"My organization can leverage IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to learn more about how clients perform because the solution lets you monitor and optimize devices and apply best practices."
"Customer Service: 5 stars! Excellent. Technical Support: 5 stars! Excellent."
"Now with the features given through up.time we have over 300 + monitors constantly checking every environment that we have and also checking databases for errors."
"It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."
"We now have a single view for all systems monitored within our IT estate, while we previously had three different systems (each configured differently)."
"With the monitoring capabilities, I can tell when things happen and be proactive about them instead of constantly putting out fires."
"We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider, and we also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients."
"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."
"As a busy sysadmin that wears many hats, it is a relief to deal with this product and the Opsview staff."
"We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider. We also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients."
"What was very compelling about OpsView was that we could dial out the noise and have meaningful and actionable alerts."
 

Cons

"While you can restrict particular users to only see subsets of the reports, it isn't as easy as it could be."
"Maintenance windows need to be streamlined."
"What I want to improve in IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor is the community aspect, where IDERA would provide customers with updates on functionalities, what comes next, what IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor upgrades would be released, etc. I also want the sustainability of IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to improve."
"Hard to say, some minor changes could help improve ease of configuring (which have already been requested and are now on the roadmap)."
"Often the webpage becomes inaccessible and you need to refresh the page."
"We're already evaluating v5.0 and to tell the truth, there's a couple of things that we found really useful in previous versions that for some reason they have removed."
"I wish they'd update the iOS app, which, I think, is the same version I used back in 2012 or so."
"Reload time: Although there have been major gains in the time to process reloads, I think that there is still room for improvement in this area."
"SNMP traps management to be improved."
"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."
"Large Opsview setups come with high licensing fees."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm based in Nigeria, and the conversion rate affects the pricing for IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor, but globally, pricing is reasonable. I'm rating pricing for the solution seven on a scale of one to ten."
"The solution is not cheap. I think that the pricing is a little bit on the high side."
"I would rate pricing a seven out of ten, where ten is the highest price."
"The solution is priced similarly to other tools offering similar features."
