We performed a comparison between IIS and Zenoss Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I like the most is that it is easy to use."
"We use Windows Server only for Eggplant Manager."
"We use the solution for our customer's web applications."
"The solution is easy to use."
"IIS has a very simple and user-friendly interface, which helps a lot in effective and efficient management."
"The graphical user interface makes it easy for users to configure the sites."
"The solution has been reliable."
"Microsoft's technical support has always been very good."
"They have also accommodated many state-of-the-art technologies like Docker and ZooKeeper."
"The product offers good documentation that helps with initial training."
"Its Docker Container concept is mind blowing. It is the first monitoring tool which comes with Docker features."
"It's easy to use."
"What I like most about Zenoss Service Dynamics is that it monitors the devices and gives close to real-time alerts. For example, in case the device is not available, Zenoss Service Dynamics generates an alert so my team can resolve the issue."
"The most valuable feature is the flexible discovery mechanism."
"The custom built integration is one of the most valuable features because you can see all the especially critical items."
"The scalability depends on how you have set it up. If you're running IIS on a single server, it might not be as capable as if you are on many in a cluster or with load balancing and so on."
"We'd like future versions to be more stable."
"I am using an older version of Windows Server IIS and the general management and navigation to get something done is not as straightforward as I hope it to be. The interface could be improved."
"The security must be improved."
"The product could be more compatible with Linux and macOS, particularly when applying user configuration policies."
"Performance-wise, certain improvements in IIS are needed...IIS is not scalable. Its scalability is less."
"I would like to see NLB features in IIS."
"Having no support for other than a Microsoft environment and programming languages limits the usage of IIS in many cases."
"The inclusion of a feature to show a graphical view of the network would be a helpful improvement."
"There is room for improvement with the administrative part. They introduced Control Center to manage things in Zenoss 5. The services that Zenoss provides remained the same, but the administrative part, since they introduced Docker, etc., has become a little complex"
"The AI aspect needs to improve."
"It would be ideal if the product offered sound alerts."
"There was a problem with Zenoss and storage monitoring."
"As Zenoss Service Dynamics is more for network-centric devices and you want to monitor, for example, a server, its services, IP addresses, and interfaces, if it's a network and you're going to monitor multiple items, you'll be charged multiple times. This is what Zenoss Service Dynamics needs to improve to make sure that customers pay just one fee to monitor the entire server. What I'd like to see in Zenoss Service Dynamics in the future is a public cloud monitoring feature, particularly for the Azure public cloud. Another additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is integration with the Azure public cloud because I know that there are some services from Azure that Zenoss Service Dynamics is currently unable to monitor."
"Now it is stable, but they should design threshold parameters in percentage instead of raw values."
IIS is ranked 1st in Application Infrastructure with 53 reviews while Zenoss Cloud is ranked 20th in Application Infrastructure with 8 reviews. IIS is rated 8.0, while Zenoss Cloud is rated 8.4. The top reviewer of IIS writes " A simple and easy-to-use solution but not recommended for public apps". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Zenoss Cloud writes "Generates close to real-time alerts so users can resolve issues, but needs more integration and public cloud monitoring features". IIS is most compared with NGINX Plus, Apache Web Server, Tomcat, Oracle WebLogic Server and JBoss, whereas Zenoss Cloud is most compared with Zabbix, Nagios XI, ServiceNow IT Operations Management, Splunk Enterprise Security and ScienceLogic.
