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.

We can set up a dashboard to monitor the status of an entire site, which provides more insight into any issues across devices
One engineer is enough for the solution's maintenance. There has been a significant improvement in Statseeker in the last few versions. It includes a wallet map and features we plan to implement when deploying the latest or penultimate versions across all our sites. This will significantly assist in identifying sites surpassing thresholds or KPIs, making issue detection much more accessible. The threshold feature is handy for identifying delays and major outages. This graphical map enables us to quickly assess the scope of nationwide problems, allowing for swift action and efficient reporting to management and service providers. This tool facilitates monitoring by visualizing all network elements with their respective coordinates, highlighting any downtimes or issues through color-coded green for operational, orange for approaching thresholds, yellow for minor alarms, and red for critical issues. The tool is a monitoring tool that helps in identifying problems. It is necessary to have someone trained to set up the dashboards because they might require some programming or specific configuration skills. Once it's configured, it works well. It's not as straightforward as other tools where you plug in the device, and everything works. With Statseeker, you still need to put in some effort to set up your dashboard properly. It requires someone with good training and proficiency in setting up these dashboards. They can benefit the technical and operations teams, providing useful insights into the network and the executive management team to receive reports on the overall network health. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

Cons

"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."
"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."

"Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved."
"We are starting to hit the limits of how we can scale out."

"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."
"It may be helpful to have more options in the alerting section."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting."
"Technical support for this solution is bad, as is everything with Cisco support."
"I don't know that the solution has had much of an impact on the complexity of our network monitoring."
"I would like to see a friendlier user interface in the administration tool."
"That user interface for selecting things needs to be a little more intuitive."
"It would be nice if they had twenty-four-hour technical support because we contact Australia and we have to wait for them to open."
"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."

"Statseeker is pretty cheap."
"We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
"It's probably $5K a year for the license."
