A cloud solution for warehousing with a troubleshooting feature
The initial setup is straightforward. It's based on user requirements. We also conduct heat mapping using a couple of tools. The only requirement is to understand the technical or configuration aspects from the user's end and then configure it. Mist takes no more than 15 to 20 minutes for a particular deployment. You need to understand the end user's environment and have a concrete plan on whether it's a greenfield installation or an existing one, considering the density and height. Based on that, we need to develop a passive heat map. Then, you need to discuss with the user to understand exactly what needs to be configured and what they require in their environment. Based on that, you can proceed with the installation. Additionally, you can perform post-installation heat mapping to ensure it matches the earlier heat map. I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

A network monitoring platform with a useful reporting feature, but permission-based options could be better
It's basically used for network monitoring. It lets you know what's happening on a network at all times. For example, it lets you know if there's an intrusion or anything like that. I know you typically have a firewall to deal with that, but sometimes you'll find certain solutions that show that…

Responsive and easy to customize alerts for, while being priced similarly to its competition
Customized reporting can be improved. Opsview has a lot of canned reports, and though we were getting a lot of them, the reports we wanted to generate would say what the usage rate during their working day was. Many tools say, "You're at 50% utilization of the network for the week." But those reports are useless because they are looking at a 24-hour day. If you're 100% utilized during the day and zero at night, the week would show 50% utilization. We needed to see the reports to show what Opsview did very well and what the usage is for their business day from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, local standard time. Those reports were standard. However, it required another level of expertise when we wanted to look at creating custom reports that would go outside of those canned reports. We had it, but it just meant we had to put our thinking caps on. If the other teams, such as the server or the web team, wanted to do the same custom reports, their people would need to get trained on that because my team didn't have time to generate custom reports for other teams. The custom porting was very good, but it took an extra level of expertise that we needed to be trained on. An area of improvement would be to make the custom reports a little bit more intuitive and less scripting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
"What was very compelling about OpsView was that we could dial out the noise and have meaningful and actionable alerts."
"I am satisfied with the overall product since it works well…It is a stable solution."
"It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."
"We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider. We also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients."
"The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup."
 

Cons

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved."
"Maybe the graphical representation can be improved. It can be enhanced for better visualization. It could be a little better. And the graph center can be improved."
"Some of the graphics on Opsview could be improved."
"Customized reporting can be improved."
"In a future release, we would like to have Observ for AI. Any AI and intelligence it can add to the monitoring is obviously beneficial. We would also like to have automated callouts."
