A suitable choice for unified and efficient infrastructure monitoring across diverse environments providing user-friendly GUI, cost-effectiveness, and versatility
We use it for this specific client, they've deployed multiple instances of it across various locations to facilitate monitoring. To effectively monitor their infrastructure, it seems necessary to implement additional monitoring solutions for all three types of devices they have Nagios Fusion…

Provides robust infrastructure monitoring with excellent integrations and alert predictions but needs improved AIOps capabilities
If we treat OpsRamp as an infrastructure monitoring tool, there are many positive aspects. However, when viewed as an AIOps tool, there are numerous potential additions. Currently, it performs infrastructure monitoring but has limited capability in application monitoring, which needs improvement. They are introducing observability as a feature where metrics, logs, and traces can be implemented, but this is currently in a primitive state that can grow over time. The platform is very stable, and the UI is excellent. However, regarding AIOps features, enhancements could be made to provide more value, such as dynamic thresholding and other capabilities that competitor tools have, such as LogicMonitor.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Nagios Fusion version 12.8 excels in user-friendly GUI design, cost-effectiveness, and ease of deployment."
"Being open source lets us customize it for our monitoring needs, saving us money."
"It is easier for client installation, and the configurations are doable even for a newcomer in the field."
"It's very easy to manage and monitor it."
"The most valuable feature of this solution in my experience, is that the available reporting is quite accurate."
"Most features work fine."
"Predictive analysis is a valued feature."
"We find the product's seamless integration with Zendesk to be extremely valuable to our business."
"This is what we have achieved, 90% alert reduction, 70% of manual, routine IT processes now automated, 50% increase in team efficiency and productivity."
"The feature we found most valuable in OpsRamp is alert generation because whenever there is any kind of spike on any virtual machine, the solution generates alerts based on the thresholds we implemented. We have integrated our ideas and tools with OpsRamp, so alerts are generated, then we notify the customers. That's the main feature we like about OpsRamp because we don't have to monitor each resource. Instead, OpsRamp does the monitoring for us, and it generates the alerts based on the thresholds."
"The most valuable features of OpsRamp include a single pane of glass, event correlation, personalized dashboards, and a single platform solution."
"The multi-tenant architecture capability of OpsRamp has helped me streamline and improve the processes within my organization."
 

Cons

"In future iterations of this solution, there is a desire for more seamless integration with other monitoring software."
"Adding application performance monitoring to the product alongside infrastructure monitoring would make it a more complete and useful solution."
"There are some bugs, although not that many. There are some situations where the solution is not stable but the number of problems is not very high."
"Nagios Fusion should include a 'remember me' option when logging in, so we don't need to enter a username and password every time."
"OpsRamp could improve the critical alerts. We have been receiving some false alerts when monitoring. For example, the alert shows the site is down, but when we try to do manual access to the URL, it's accessible."
"What's lacking in OpsRamp is process automation, and if there is, I wish there could be more of it, other than just spikes, or it would be better if the alerts can be generated based on different matrices. That option is absent in OpsRamp at the moment, and it would be valuable if that could be provided in the solution, especially if there's any kind of security issue in the VM."
"The product also tends to release updates first and find out there is an issue later."
"I would like to see two things. The first is a self-service portal for the cloud, any cloud deployments, and the second is maturity validation towards ITSM, internalizing OpsRamp TSM. As a result, instead of integrating with more mature tools similar to ServiceNow, people will use OpsRamp."
"OpsRamp had shortcomings associated with its network capabilities."
"Currently, it performs infrastructure monitoring but has limited capability in application monitoring, which needs improvement."
"This is an emerging tool and they have tried to consolidate everything not always with success."
"The user interface of this product requires some changes as it is not inclusively user-friendly. For example, the performance indicators are color-based , which means that they are confusing for anyone who is color blind."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite reasonable, especially when compared to the broader market."
"You pay it for a year and you'll have full access to the entire platform, not only for monitoring and alerting, you will have access to the entire platform, and whatever technology they develop will be made available to you."
"I don't have any idea about the licensing cost for OpsRamp, but I just know that its pricing is based on the resource count for each tenant."
"There is an annual licensing fee to use OpsRamp."
"OpsRamp is a cost-effective solution."
