Effective monitoring and efficient alert management streamline operations
Machine learning works based on past collected data, so we can develop a system that functions as an automated bot using this data. With the use of AI technologies such as ChatGPT and other Gen AI solutions, if we combine these with machine learning tools, it will lead to increased efficiency and reduced processing time in application systems. I work on the backend to address any issues with Moogsoft, such as URL access problems or credential bugs, ensuring everything operates smoothly. The advantage of Moogsoft is that it consolidates various alerts into one monitoring tool, which reduces time and allows for real-time and anomaly detection, while its disadvantage includes limited built-in observability and complex setup requirements. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Moogsoft a 9.

The setup is straightforward, but t​he satellite service installation file could be separated from the server one.
* The status overview page provides a state of computers monitored and provides quickly what users need to focus on * The satellite service installed on remote computers is an easy way to add clients, plus it's easy to deploy and to configure * The licence is perpetual and not linked to one computer, so it's possible to remove a licence from one computer and use it on another with no extra cost

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integration with Event Management works quite well."
"The AIOps capabilities in Moogsoft, which it brings in with multiple data source support, are the most valuable features."
"Moogsoft is easily deployable and ready to use."
"The tool's event correlation and AI are its strongest parts."
"As a result of using Moogsoft for analysis, we are much quicker to find and diagnose the root cause of issues and therefore we improve production, stability, and uptime of services."
"The AI component allows you to check previous cases and diagnose problems easily."
"The operations are familiar with how to use Moogsoft, so they are keeping it."
"The product currently seems to be a few steps ahead of the competition."
"The possibility to develop your own VB scripts."
"The satellite service installed on remote computers is an easy way to add clients, plus it's easy to deploy and to configure the licence is perpetual and not linked to one computer, so it's possible to remove a licence from one computer and use it on another with no extra cost"
 

Cons

"The unsupervised learning algorithms in Moogsoft are valuable, but the learning processes, run book creation, and neural feedback areas could be improved."
"I would like to see additional reports or information on the dashboard that includes metrics about CPU usage and memory."
"I would like to see Moogsoft improve on coming up with some agentic solutions for whatever they have been able to automate."
"The product roadmap doesn't align with our roadmap."
"The tool needs to improve its support. It appears that the support responsiveness from Moogsoft is not aligned with the severity of the incident. Instead of proactively addressing issues, customers have to chase Moogsoft for resolution. In Moogsoft, unlike other tools like Splunk, the process follows a step-by-step sequence. You need to start each process in a specific order, typically following a sequence."
"Moogsoft is dependent on external products to do orchestration and SOP-based functionality."
"Some additional API interfacing would be great to enable getting the data out of AIOps programmatically."
"Moogsoft requires very specific system configurations, such as a particular Red Hat and Java version, which can be outdated and pose security risks."
"Basic monitoring on Unix was working really well but it didn't really help under machines in Windows Domain Controller."
"The satellite service installation file could be separated from the server one. It would reduce the size of the file, and reduce the time to deploy on weak connections."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Moogsoft's licensing is consumption-based, so the price may increase depending on the environment."
"It's a very cost-effective and competitive product."
"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."
"The solution is very good from a business impact point of view, but it's quite expensive because it's an enterprise-grade solution."
"When compared to other solutions, it is quite good."
