Has supported real-time event detection and reporting accuracy while database integration has required extra effort
Sometimes it may be difficult to incorporate new additional databases in NetMon, and we faced some challenges at that time. However, currently, it is not giving many challenges.It is difficult to integrate NetMon with other databases. We can customize NetMon's monitoring views, but it is done by the team who handles it, as it is outsourced.

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

"It has a very strong artificial intelligence engine."
"NetMon's best feature is traffic analysis."
"The protocols with which you see the traffic for a particular website that a client has in their environment, for example, are valuable. We can monitor whether the traffic is up to the mark or whether they need to add more bandwidth. Also, we can see if we're able to get real-time environment data as well. The customization dashboard is really good. LogRhythm NetMon has its own in-built dashboards which are helpful in guiding customization."
"The most valuable feature is the log, which can be analyzed by our SIEM solution."
"In general, this is a good product."
"Visibility is a valuable feature, the ability to see even if the traffic is not going into the firewall"
"The analytics feature is the most valuable feature."
"We are using NetMon's real-time traffic analysis regularly with a team of four members who effectively monitor all alerts and events, which has helped them identify whether there could be a severe incident."
"The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup."
"The system is very robust and very rarely breaks."
"It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."
"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"
"I am satisfied with the overall product since it works well…It is a stable solution."
"Excellent customer support from Cerner."
 

Cons

"LogRhythm's support team isn't responsive enough - it's common to wait a day or two for someone to deal with a case."
"Could use a topology diagram which would help get an exact visual."
"I would like to see better integration with multiple products. Integration is not something that is readily available for most of the products."
"Our customers would always like to see additional features."
"Some of the automated tasks we can perform on QRadar cannot be performed on LogRhythm because the solution has limitations."
"The training for this product is not very good and needs to be improved."
"Their technical support isn't so great."
"The main concern is that LogRhythm has not improved NetMon but instead introduced a separate product, which many customers, including us, would prefer to be integrated into a single platform for easier management."
"We have had some stability issues, but that is largely because we're using an unsupported database."
"It's probably the priciest option of all its main competitors."
"The graphing feature needs work, although it has been rewritten in release 5.0 and we have yet to deploy it."
"We're already evaluating v5.0 and to tell the truth, there's a couple of things that we found really useful in previous versions that for some reason they have removed."
"Often the webpage becomes inaccessible and you need to refresh the page."
"There is always room for improvement, and part of the reason we're looking at Grafana is because there are things it can do that Opsview cannot do as well."
"In Opsview 4.6.3, there is no provision for making bulk changes to monitored servers via the GUI, though it is possible to custom-script bulk changes via the API."
"Some of the graphics on Opsview could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"LogRhythm's licensing part is something that depends on the license you want since they offer it on a perpetual and subscription basis."
"The product is expensive for smaller companies."
"I don't have visibility into the pricing of LogRhythm NetMon as it's handled through our commercial partnerships."
"The price of this solution is too high, so it should be made more practical and more valuable for the customer."
"NetMon's licensing costs about $85k per year, with some extra costs for support."
"Pricing is okay. There were some competitors that were extremely expensive and there were some which were really inexpensive but LogRhythm stayed in the middle of them."
"The solution is not cheap. I think that the pricing is a little bit on the high side."
"The solution is priced similarly to other tools offering similar features."
"I would rate pricing a seven out of ten, where ten is the highest price."
