A network monitoring platform with a useful reporting feature, but permission-based options could be better
The initial setup is fairly easy. Most of it's wizard-based. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to set it up. But if you don't know certain things related to protocols and everything else, it might be difficult. If you know how SNMP works, it'll be fairly simple to set up.

Real-time dashboards have improved our deployment monitoring and incident response
We are using Opsview ourselves, rather than being a consultant or a reseller. We do not use its auto-discovery feature. We do not utilize its API driven architecture. I do not know what metrics we use to assess the effectiveness of Opsview's hybrid IT monitoring. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with Opsview as it is good for what it does. I do not know if Grafana has any other advantages besides better stats, as I am not involved in that side. Based on my experience, I would still recommend Opsview to others as it is good for what it does. I gave this review a rating of 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The setup is very intuitive and quick - it all just took a few minutes we were done."
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good; it's very similar to SolarWinds, just with a different interface, and the majority of everything there was beneficial."
"Customer service is great; always responsive, within minutes at times."
"With the monitoring capabilities, I can tell when things happen and be proactive about them instead of constantly putting out fires."
"Opsview provides all the functionality of NetSaint and Nagios but with the simplicity of a GUI front end, using MySQL to centralize configuration."
"For me, scalability and reliability are the product's most valuable features."
"We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider, and we also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients."
"Our support team are more responsive to failures and potential problems by using the Opsview Monitoring System."
"Overall, I am pretty satisfied with Opsview as it is good for what it does."
"Very easy-to-use interface, especially starting from v5 onwards Advanced tweaking possibilities Netflow"
 

Cons

"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"Our network is made up of a lot of Cisco devices, and it needs improvements."
"Large Opsview setups come with high licensing fees."
"Sometimes Opsview has crashed, but the multiple master/slave solution provides consistent uptime for monitoring."
"SNMP traps management to be improved."
"It can be a little bit flaky with the agent on VMware."
"Hard to say, some minor changes could help improve ease of configuring (which have already been requested and are now on the roadmap)."
"Customized reporting can be improved."
"It's probably the priciest option of all its main competitors."
"Reload time: Although there have been major gains in the time to process reloads, I think that there is still room for improvement in this area."
