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.

IP address management improves network efficiency but licensing cost could decrease
We are using SolarWinds for NPM and NCM, and we use IP address management for IP address monitoring. It helps us track which IP address is live and which is not. It also provides DHCP reservation and allows us to declare IP addresses for our integration. We have been using it for IP address…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product currently seems to be a few steps ahead of the competition."
"I like the prediction features; it's an automatic prediction of events and writing of the rules of analysis, and with Moogsoft the correlations are done automatically."
"One of the tangible benefits of Moogsoft AIOps is that it has reduced alert volume by 90 percent, separating the signal from the noise through mathematical analysis of all events across the entire monitoring stack and freeing up support a lot, saving resources, time, and money."
"The tool's event correlation and AI are its strongest parts."
"Moogsoft is easily deployable and ready to use."
"The solution is very stable; you will hardly face any issues like file corruption or an alert being missed out by the system."
"When one is wanting to look for a quick solution rather than building it, Moogsoft is easily deployable and ready to use — that's how I feel."
"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 initial setup is very straightforward and it is easy to add nodes."
"IPAM is used for IP address reservation and tracking, helping us easily identify live IP addresses."
"The most valuable feature is the availability of end devices."
"IPAM is used for IP address reservation and tracking, helping us easily identify live IP addresses."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integrations. It is rather difficult to install the enterprise systems with the agents."
"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."
"Customer service and support need improvement in terms of response time."
"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."
"They are very much dependent on open-source technologies like RabbitMQ message bus. They are using open-source databases, Apache Tomcat, NGINX. If we face any issues with Apache Tomcat or the RabbitMQ message bus, then we do not get support from them. We have to troubleshoot it ourselves."
"Moogsoft is dependent on external products to do orchestration and SOP-based functionality."
"The solution does not include enough features and has some performance issues."
"The licensing cost is high compared to open source tools."
"The solution does not include enough features and has some performance issues."
"The licensing cost is high compared to open source tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 a bit expensive because the annual license does not include new features that are priced as add-ons."
