Featured Reviews

MS
It’s quite stable as it’s been around for a long time. It’s rare that we would have an application issue with the agents.
* Usability is big. I like a snappy interface, one that lets multiple people work in the system readily at the same time without stepping on each other’s toes. * One that has a clean look and feel, not cluttered with options. * One that is robust, that will let you tweak what you need. * One of our current frustrations occurs when scheduling something to run. We have to watch it every 4 hours and, depending on our customer implementation, it’s not always easy to figure out the right solution. * Technical support is important. We don’t open a lot of calls, which is a good thing. You should want it to be accessible as ease of opening detailed tickets is important. * For a monitoring solution, I would say look outside of HP, but don’t discount them. They’ve got a huge inventory and lots of tools, but it really depends on the buying power of the consumer.
Jeff Cronstrom - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly stable solution that can be used to monitor system availability
The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup. You can clone that service, and it allows you to add new services quickly. You can bring up new servers, and you can easily add them. Also, there's an API to be able to add services as well. We don't use the API. We mostly use the cloning function because it stores everything in a back-end database. The underlying monitoring platform for our version is Nagios. That's where we upgraded from Nagios to Opsview.
