A good on-onboarding and monitoring tool for smaller start-up organizations that lacks the extended functionality bigger businesses would need
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of this solution in my experience, is that the available reporting is quite accurate."
  • "The user interface of this product requires some changes as it is not inclusively user-friendly. For example, the performance indicators are color-based , which means that they are confusing for anyone who is color blind."

What is our primary use case?

I main used this solution for on-boarding network and storage devices, then monitoring the clients environment, according to their requirements for these devices.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of this solution in my experience, is that the available reporting is quite accurate. 

What needs improvement?

The user interface of this product requires some changes as it is not inclusively user-friendly. For example, the performance indicators are color-based , which means that they are confusing for anyone who is color blind.

The report building feature of this solution could definitely be enhanced to be more straightforward to use, and to allow for different parameters for reporting to be input, such as showing the version in use in a clients environment.

The product also tends to release updates first and find out there is an issue later. This leads to clients reporting bugs in the running performance.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with this solution for five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a mostly stable but solution, but scaling up the number of users has a negative impact on its performance.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This solution is scalable, but extra users tends to result in connection losses.

How are customer service and support?

The support team for this solution are very good and have excellent technical skills. However, there were occasional issues with language barriers that meant it took longer to resolve problems than it should have.

There are also support articles available on the product website, but despite the manufacturers claims that they are user-friendly, they are actually complicated to follow.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

I found the initial setup of this solution to be quite easy, and the deployment across 100 devices took around 15 minutes to complete.

What about the implementation team?

The initial setup, I think the OpsRamp team does it. And like I said, there are resources that you can follow, but they're not actually quite accurate.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution to start-up organizations on a budget, but it may not be suitable for larger businesses with more in-depth requirements.

I would rate this solution a five out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
