Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"When you are working with Microsoft solutions, you will see that the integration with the operating system, and implementing some security features, are easier in IIS than when using another solution.""The initial setup is simple.""The solution is easy to use and connects with Microsoft.""The initial setup of IIS is easy. The process takes only five minutes.""It has an intuitive user interface and provides a lot of options for building reports.""The solution is simple and very easy to manage compared to Linux.""The tool shows us the operating systems where our servers and applications are running.""IIS is stable."

"It's easy to use.""The product offers good documentation that helps with initial training.""They have also accommodated many state-of-the-art technologies like Docker and ZooKeeper.""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.""Its Docker Container concept is mind blowing. It is the first monitoring tool which comes with Docker features.""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."

Cons
"The price of the solution could be less to improve.""The customer service and support team can be improved.""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 solution's scalability needs improvement.""IIS's memory management could be improved.""In the next release, the tool should be more easily integrated and configured with other provisions. The pricing should also be made cheaper since it's very expensive now.""It would be beneficial if you could automate security certificate monitoring with IIS.""The solution's stability needs improvement."

More IIS Cons →

"There was a problem with Zenoss and storage monitoring.""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""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.""The inclusion of a feature to show a graphical view of the network would be a helpful improvement.""It would be ideal if the product offered sound alerts.""The AI aspect needs to improve.""Now it is stable, but they should design threshold parameters in percentage instead of raw values."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is licensed with your Windows installation which makes it relatively cheap if you already have a Windows Server sitting around."
  • "This solution comes included with Windows Server."
  • "The price of the cloud system is a bit high."
  • "The price of Windows Server IIS is expensive. They have a large user base, and they charge a little bit too much."
  • "We purchased a Microsoft Windows license and the license for IIS came in the package."
  • "I think it's part of the Windows Server, so you won't have any other costs to add in order to use the IIS service."
  • "I was using the trial version of IIS inside my virtual machines."
  • "I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."
  • More IIS Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It depends on the customer, what he wants."
  • "It is very cost-effective compared to the tools I worked with in the past. The company is gaining a lot with respect to the cost factor. It provides agentless monitoring and in a very cheap way."
  • "The pricing depends on the environment, the number of services, and the size of the data center. It can go from $100,000 to a million dollars."
  • "There are additional costs you'll have to pay apart from the license fee for Zenoss Service Dynamics. I can't remember exactly how much my company is paying because I don't handle the finance part, but the cost is paid annually. On a scale of one to five, with one being the cheapest and five being the most expensive, I'm rating the solution three out of five."
