Technical Consultant Of Juniper Networks Division at MUK
AI assistant has transformed network troubleshooting and now reduces downtime and support tickets
Marvis Virtual Network Assistant has resolved all problems that network administrators face, making it challenging to identify areas for improvement. Marvis provides good analytics, recommendations, and problem resolutions. One potential enhancement would be to add different languages for different countries because Marvis currently uses only English. For example, since I live in Ukraine, it would be beneficial to communicate with Marvis in Ukrainian because not all administrators know English.

Have integrated effective monitoring and seamless alerting with improved visualization capabilities
The most valuable feature of SCOM is its monitoring capability, and we have integrated SCOM with Grafana, which is a dashboarding tool. We have implemented and integrated this to create dashboarding of the SCOM monitoring system for the database, SQL, and the Linux servers we have configured in SCOM. We have created separate dashboarding for it, and the monitoring and creating rules and monitors in the management servers and management packs that SCOM provides are very useful for us. The alerting mechanism of SCOM has benefited our operations because we have modified the thresholds as per our internal requirements. We have configured threshold modifications for the CPU, memory, and especially for disk space. For routine disk space usage on the system, we have provided a separate threshold configuration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Marvis Virtual Network Assistant uses AI to find problems or to get information from devices."
"I believe the pricing of Marvis Virtual Network Assistant is reasonable because it allows for a decrease in the quantity of network administrators needed and reduces operational costs."
"If you ask any questions about Marvis, it will respond immediately and use some solution. It will be very easy and save you time."
"We've had outages at two am and three am that was automatically resolved by SCOM saving us time and money."
"We like the deployment of the machines and the features that they have, and it's easy to use."
"Setting up SCOM is straightforward and takes about an hour as long as you have all your firewalls and DNS settings in place."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is its monitoring capability, and we have integrated SCOM with Grafana, which is a dashboarding tool."
"SCOM provided end-to-end monitoring for all aspects of the infrastructure, including web sites, network devices, databases and applications."
"ROI turned out to be pretty good since we had good centralized monitoring for our whole data center and all the outages were quickly escalated from the Command center to the relevant Team."
"This is the main monitoring system for our company; we use it for monitoring, reporting, and analytics."
"If I have to choose any one product for server monitoring to take care of all aspects of monitoring out of the box, SCOM is number one."
 

Cons

"It should add real-time application visibility."
"It would be a good idea to integrate the solution to support other vendors besides Juniper."
"One potential enhancement would be to add different languages for different countries because Marvis currently uses only English."
"The suite is a monster. Without a clear strategy and fine tuning can produce a lot of noise (unnecessary noise) or miss critical aspects of your environment."
"Overall, I find that this is a good solution but the presentation layer is really bad."
"On-prem network monitoring is something that could be improved drastically."
"Even though I think there are ways that this product is superior to most other solutions on the market, there are quite a few things that it does not do alone."
"If they're looking for real-time, within-the-minute monitoring of servers from a console, then I would say that it falls short there."
"Regarding certain issues in the solution, it can be difficult to generate reports if we have a program that is not user-friendly for reporting. While this is not necessarily negative, we may need to use another solution."
"I would like to see more standard libraries for the market solutions, out of the box, that you don't need to do a lot of work on."
"Reporting could be improved, you get many reports out-of-box but they can be difficult to interpret and drill down into."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Marvis Virtual Network Assistant is not an expensive solution."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is paid annually."
"The platform is cost-effective due to our existing Microsoft support."
"It is more expensive than the competition."
"Our licensing fees are approximately $30 per user, per month."
"We have to pay for a license and the price is fine for us."
"SCOM's pricing is average."
"If you have a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, then this is part of the agreement."
"SCOM is very cheap because it's included in the license for the System Center suite, which is around $8,400 per CAL."
