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

"Network quality monitoring of multicast TV channels and other network monitorings."
"The live packet capture feature enables quicker troubleshooting and better network monitoring."
"Over the past three years, we've grown by about 200%, and the system has been able to manage that growth."
"With the monitoring capabilities, I can tell when things happen and be proactive about them instead of constantly putting out fires."
"I like its scalability thanks to slaves, as you can add as many as you want, which also allows you to reach and monitor devices running on the network that are not accessible by the master."
"For me, scalability and reliability are the product's most valuable features."
"Opsview, though not the least expensive Nagios-based commercial monitoring product offers excellent value for performance which rivals expensive commercial products from the major IT vendors; it is well worth the money paid for it."
"We now have a single view for all systems monitored within our IT estate, while we previously had three different systems (each configured differently)."
"The system is very robust and very rarely breaks."
"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 web interface is ok, but I would like to see if it was possible to group jobs better and to create our own dashboards."
"Often the webpage becomes inaccessible and you need to refresh the page."
"I wish they'd update the iOS app, which, I think, is the same version I used back in 2012 or so."
"Hard to say, some minor changes could help improve ease of configuring (which have already been requested and are now on the roadmap)."
"The graphing feature needs work, although it has been rewritten in release 5.0 and we have yet to deploy it."
"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."
"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."
"It's probably the priciest option of all its main competitors."
"Some aspects of the GUI functionality need improvement."
