Senior Solution Consultant at Orange
Network management and diagnostics improved through effective monitoring and reporting capabilities
The solution is handy. I have not used that particular feature. Maintenance is required for the system. If you want to use something on the endpoints or end-user devices, then using LiveAction LiveNX in place of other tools would be quite beneficial. The solution impacts operational costs and resources. On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine.

Long term metrics monitoring has improved AI workflows and now powers faster incident analysis
The best features VictoriaMetrics offers in my experience include fast query performance and efficient resource usage, seamless compatibility with the Prometheus ecosystem, a simple cluster architecture with minimal components, MetricsQL with useful functions beyond PromQL, and comprehensive tooling like VMAgent and VMAlert. VictoriaMetrics stands out to me because it is highly efficient, stable, and easy to run in air-gapped environments. It integrates well with Prometheus ecosystem tools like Kube-Prometheus-Stack and Grafana. Its compact storage and fast query performance make it ideal for long-term metric storage. The cluster setup is simple and scalable, which is a big advantage for production use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"If you're looking for a tool that will solve your problems in a short period of time more effectively, LiveNX is the right tool."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine."
"There are many positive attributes, and it's the best of the best."
"It is very good if you are a Cisco shop; it gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"The best features offered by VictoriaMetrics are that it is a very fast database and a time series database that is very capable of handling an enormous amount of data."
"Prometheus compatibility is the biggest plus for me, and it allows me to use familiar PromQL queries across Grafana dashboards, alert rules, and the anomaly detection workflow, which saves integration effort and makes it easier to investigate an incident using the same metrics across those tools."
"VictoriaMetrics stands out to me because it is highly efficient, stable, and easy to run in air-gapped environments, integrates well with Prometheus ecosystem tools like Kube-Prometheus-Stack and Grafana, and its compact storage and fast query performance make it ideal for long-term metric storage."
"The resource efficiency of VictoriaMetrics allows you to reduce infrastructure costs."
"With VictoriaMetrics, the query performance is faster, and it requires a lesser amount of storage space as well."
"VictoriaMetrics has positively impacted my organization as it is a stable, performant, safe, and well-engineered piece of software which works exactly as expected and delivers stable results."
"VictoriaMetrics has positively impacted my organization because we were able to save on metric storage by not using expensive solutions from other vendors."
"VictoriaMetrics has positively impacted our organization because we chose it for efficiency, simplicity, one binary and cost, and it's straightforward embedded in our Helm chart, so it works out of the box."
 

Cons

"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"The product is weak in multi-tenancy. We have to install multiple instances of LiveAction, whereas we would like to build it once for our customers."
"They have some unique functionality but they need to create a more simplified UI."
"The customer service and technical support of LiveAction LiveNX are rated at 4 out of 10."
"Maintenance is required for the system."
"The only downside to this software is the price; it's a very pricey solution and very expensive, and it requires a good amount of resources in terms of server memory."
"My advice to others would be to run away from it. This is a slight exaggeration but this is more because the application is horrible, the stability is horrible, the performance is horrible and the support is horrible."
"I chose exactly 8 out of 10 because I do not have full knowledge of the product in production, and my experience stopped at the testing phase pending the company's evaluation."
"The main area that needs improvement in VictoriaMetrics is the documentation itself, as the support is adequate and the open-source project does provide replies within one to two days."
"From my project experience, I would appreciate more practical guidance on tuning queries and diagnosing missing or delayed metrics across the ingestion pipeline."
"However, for people who want to go into the enterprise version, I think VictoriaMetrics needs to work on the pricing because it is quite high even if someone uses a single cluster."
"The main areas of improvement for VictoriaMetrics include automatic rebalancing, a large ecosystem, and Enterprise features."
"I chose an eight out of ten because for a perfect score of ten, VictoriaMetrics would need to be effortless to install, set up, run, and use—essentially, it should just work without me having to do anything."
"Regarding performance gains or cost savings, I can add that native multitenancy is only in the cluster version, and on single-node, we had to build tenant isolation ourselves with labels and query filters, so this could be improved."
"The reason I rate it eight is that the solution lacks aggregation and I have to either use a custom solution or solutions from other vendors."
