Filters the noise and consolidating alerts into a single situation report
Moogsoft's integration options are somewhat limited. It primarily relies on webhooks and APIs for data input, meaning external systems must push data to Moogsoft; it cannot pull data independently. If I want to connect CloudWatch or Prometheus to Moogsoft, I have to write custom code on the Prometheus side to send data through Moogsoft’s APIs or webhooks. Other monitoring tools like Splunk and Dynatrace typically have agents that reside on the system, automatically collecting and sending data. This difference can create challenges for teams needing seamless integration. Although Moogsoft has developed some plugins, such as those for Grafana and Zabbix, that are ready to use, they don’t have comprehensive support for every tool. Splunk has developed an AI assistant that can answer your queries and everything else. Moogsoft lacks that. Dynatrace has this AI component that will identify things on its own. On the other end, Moogsoft, you must set up the workflow. You have to come and set up the cookbooks. ServiceNow also has good event correlation. Splunk is fantastic with the event correlation.

Reduces troubleshooting time and improves operational efficiency through a single console
NetApp technology, specifically NetApp Cloud Insights, has significantly impacted the way my customers do business. One customer had multiple components, such as a VMware environment, Cisco switches, NetApp storage, and backup tools. Previously, the customer had to monitor all these tools individually each morning by logging into every console to check for errors or performance issues. It used to take them about 1 or 2 hours, but after we installed NetApp Cloud Insights, the time spent was reduced to just 5 minutes with a single console where they could monitor everything. The customer can integrate their VMware servers, Cisco switches, and storage with NetApp Cloud Insights to quickly identify any problems and resolve issues efficiently, demonstrating a reduction in complexity and monitoring time. The values that NetApp Cloud Insights delivers to my customers are evident in real examples, such as an application team running their application on a single VM connected through a switch and storage. When they experience a performance issue, the VMware team needs to identify the source of the slowness, whether it's from the server, switch, or storage, which requires a time-consuming investigation of each component. Without NetApp Cloud Insights, this process is slow and stressful for both the application team and the VMware team, but with the tool, a single click allows the customer to pinpoint the issue directly, improving response times to performance problems immensely. The evolving cybersecurity landscape and the proliferation of AI highly influence my customers' technology decisions, as having NetApp storage in their environment allows them to detect ransomware attacks effectively. NetApp guarantees data recovery in case of such attacks, and here, NetApp Cloud Insights plays a crucial role; it can identify where a ransomware attack originates, allowing the IT team to respond rapidly, such as disconnecting affected devices to mitigate the damage, especially crucial when multiple users are involved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Event Management feature is quite valuable."
"Moogsoft's most valuable features are event management, correlation, and observability."
"The product currently seems to be a few steps ahead of the competition."
"The operations are familiar with how to use Moogsoft, so they are keeping it."
"Moogsoft is easily deployable and ready to use."
"Moogsoft helps manage alert fatigue by consolidating various alerts into a single portal instead of monitoring them across different devices, allowing team members to own alerts and monitor them efficiently, which benefits the whole team."
"The AI component allows you to check previous cases and diagnose problems easily."
"I find the unsupervised learning algorithms for noise reduction particularly valuable. The algorithm's ability to identify and reduce noise is a feature we initially liked. The anomaly detection feature is excellent for maintaining system uptime as it helps identify problems quickly."
"One feature we appreciate the most is its ability to take snapshots, which adds an extra layer of security and allows us to protect our data effectively."
"All our production clusters are in Cloud Insight. It provides a single pane of glass, giving us visibility into the environment, which allows us to understand if any issues are going on across any of our clusters."
"The solution is 98 percent stable."
"Cloud Insights' best features are visibility and the connector to move the workloads."
"NetApp Cloud Insights helps with login monitoring and troubleshooting. Previously, if we had performance concerns or needed to interface with other groups and their products, a task that should require only one or two people turned into a six-person job."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"Among the most valuable features are the queries and reporting that allow us to look at the utilization of resources, at how well the storage is performing, and to report on which resources are being used by which business units. We can track usage across the entire environment, across applications, business units, cost centers, etc."
"Its ability to quickly inventory our resources, figure out interdependencies across them, and assemble a topology of your environment is brilliant. There is a price associated with it. Whenever you target a NetApp environment, it is included in the price but whenever you want to add different vendors, like VMware and Cisco, the price greatly spikes. Inventorization helps us a lot to visualize the environment."
 

Cons

"It is taking a long time to set it up and could do more to roll out quickly."
"They should consider including Chatbot."
"I would like to see how Moogsoft integrates with the multi-cloud and brings out a single pane of glass, to see everything on one screen."
"The unsupervised learning algorithms in Moogsoft are valuable, but the learning processes, run book creation, and neural feedback areas could be improved."
"The documentation and flexibility for generic integration could be improved."
"I would like to see additional reports or information on the dashboard that includes metrics about CPU usage and memory."
"The solution's initial setup is complex, and it should be made easier."
"Some additional API interfacing would be great to enable getting the data out of AIOps programmatically."
"Even though I work with NetApp, it still takes time for me to navigate and find components, so new customers might require considerable hands-on experience to efficiently use the console, indicating that it could be more user-friendly."
"When I did need support because I was having problems with the solution, the first or the second line just didn't understand it. They were providing this only on a software as a service basis. So, they were asking all the wrong questions."
"Ease of reporting is one thing that they're trying to tackle. If you have a specific set of data you want from Cloud Insights, you can ask NetApp to help you build the reports from the ground up. The dashboards are intuitive, but finding the report you want is sometimes a challenge. If you don't have the report already loaded, pulling it in and letting it build its data can be cumbersome."
"There is room for improving the creating and managing or modifying of reports. That is still a difficult task to do and requires knowledge beyond the storage itself. I would love to see reporting improved so that we can create reports by dragging and dropping pieces into a report form and publish a report that way."
"The IP-based monitoring could be added in a future release."
"The first level of NetApp's technical support could be improved."
"The support is not very quick."
"Cloud Insights could offer more detail when we drill down into the Azure environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As for pricing, Moogsoft recently updated their pricing model, and we're still evaluating it. It's an area where clarity is needed with the new alert-based pricing model."
"Moogsoft's licensing is consumption-based, so the price may increase depending on the environment."
"When compared to other solutions, it is quite good."
"It's a very cost-effective and competitive product."
"The solution is very good from a business impact point of view, but it's quite expensive because it's an enterprise-grade solution."
"Be aware of the capacity licensing and understand how that works, because it is based on capacity. Getting an understanding of that is the biggest thing."
"The licensing is complex. The calculation depends on what you're ingesting. A terabyte of one product is not a terabyte of another product. Virtual machines don't equate so easily. It's all about the end-use managed units and having an easy place to reference how far those units go."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution's pricing is based on the device you purchase and includes support services."
"We are billed based on management units, so we can purchase units based on six months, twelve months, twenty-four months, or thirty-six months upfront or pay as you go depending on our requirements."
"The licensing model could be improved. We love that you can use it for free for looking at NetApp products. You only need licenses to look at non-NetApp products, but as soon as you do that, you start utilizing licenses that actually would have been free in the public. So, there is a bit of an anomaly in the licensing model."
