Partner Technical Support & Escalation Manager at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees

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.

Event management, Dynamic plugin and Reporting need to be improved.

Event management, Dynamic plugin and Reporting need to be improved. The software features and monitoring are not as expected, especially the Dynamic plug-in and Trap processing. There are many basics and important features which are lacking such as event alarms for temperature and hot spot. This software is build around its own Raritan hardware, therefore to use for non-Raritan hardware could be a challenge and tricky at times.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What was very compelling about OpsView was that we could dial out the noise and have meaningful and actionable alerts."

"As a busy sysadmin that wears many hats, it is a relief to deal with this product and the Opsview staff."

"It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."
