| Partner Technical Support & Escalation Manager at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | I've used Opsview for eight years to monitor deployments and value its real-time dashboards and alerting, though we're transitioning to Grafana for better performance reporting. Overall, Opsview is solid, and I'd still recommend it. |
| Network Engineering and Operations Manager at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees | 4.5 | We use Opsview's cloud version for its effective alert management and quick NetFlow reporting. While custom reports need improvement, Opsview's high ROI and better visibility compared to other tools make it a valuable solution for our global network. |
| Senior Director, DNS Engineering & Network Operations at CloudfloorDNS | 4.0 | I use Opsview to monitor system availability efficiently. The cloning feature is invaluable for quickly adding new services, though the graphics need improvement. We transitioned from Nagios to Opsview and have seen a return on investment. |
| Architect at Trianz | 4.0 | Opsview is a comprehensive monitoring solution featuring file system process monitoring, CPU memory, and uptime monitoring. It could improve in pricing, customization, and graphical representation. Compared to IBM, it lacks log monitoring without a separate license. |
| Partner Technical Support & Escalation Manager at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | We use Opsview for monitoring services alongside Nagios, though I'm not closely involved. Improvements in pricing and specific aspects are needed. While previously relying solely on Nagios, it's unclear which tool we will fully adopt. |
| Service Director - Core Delivery Platform at UKCloud Ltd | 4.0 | I use this solution for internal and client monitoring, finding it scalable. While setup isn't straightforward, it's stable with a supported database. I'd like AI features and automated callouts in the future, rating it 7/10. |
| Systems Administrator at Antietam Cable Television, Inc. | 4.5 | I value Opsview's Investigate Mode and troubleshooting features, finding it stable, scalable, and fairly priced. While reload times have improved, background processing would be ideal. Customer and technical support are excellent, making the transition from Nagios XI smooth. |
| Works at a tech company with 51-200 employees | 5.0 | I find Opsview a great solution, appreciating its accurate alerting, improved uptime, and excellent customer service. Setup was straightforward, and I've experienced no issues, though I'd like minor improvements to Jasper Reporting. |
