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.

ITOM Visibility assists in service mapping and determining the impact of different applications. ITOM Discovery scans the infrastructure and updates the CMDB ( /categories/configuration-management-databases ). ITOM Health is an event management tool that predicts outages. Certificate Inventory manages certificate expiration. ServiceNow IT Operations Management influences ITSM ( /categories/it-service-management-itsm ) processes by automating them and aiding in detecting and resolving IT issues to improve performance, reliability, and uptime.
