Can be fine-tuned as required, provides real-time data but lacks sufficient machine learning capability
In terms of machine learning, there are a few areas that can be improved including short terms in the SAP system. Currently, it requires a team member to manually read the short term and then assign it to a team rather than having it assigned automatically. A downside of Avantra is that it comes with predefined values. Another issue is that identical recurring problems create duplicate tickets rather than showing them as repeats. They also need to do some kernel updates which I believe they're working on but I haven't seen it yet; I'm hoping the solution will be completely automated. I would like to see more on the machine-learning front and to have some third-party tools.

Efficient monitoring and alerting enhance operational insights
With Grafana Enterprise Stack, we can identify issues that New Relic cannot help with. While New Relic requires purchase and supports frontend and backend components, Grafana Enterprise Stack helps identify where issues are occurring. When we need to deep dive into issues, we use New Relic to trace transactions and determine where maximum impact occurs, whether in core size, DB side, or frontend components that slow performance. We first evaluate with Grafana Enterprise Stack, then move to New Relic if we identify performance degradation, such as DB queries taking too much time. Grafana Enterprise Stack responds to queries within 6 to 12 hours. They contact users through email immediately when available. Similarly, New Relic follows the same pattern, responding immediately when requests are raised and resolving issues promptly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I definitely recommend this solution, it provides good value for money."
"Deployment was amazingly short and simple; I do not think I have seen any SAP-related product installs ready to work so fast, and out-of-box it included most of the functions and settings that we needed."
"You can customize alerts based on need."
"The most valuable feature of Avantra is automation. The reduction of manual work and having them automated is one of the top reasons why I would use it."
"It prevented two major failures in our SAP production systems."
"It's very easy to manage and use."
"It's just very user-friendly, and it's very easy to monitor the servers using Avantra."
"The most valuable features for us are dashboards; we can dashboard anything that we can think of, we can dashboard and measure."
"It is truly reliable."
"The most valuable feature of Grafana Enterprise Stack is the dashboards."
"Grafana Enterprise Stack is a powerful open-source platform with robust capabilities in data visualizations, dashboard creations, and alerting."
"It is very easy to deploy and integrate with any application or infrastructure layer."
"Compared to other packages, Grafana Enterprise Stack is user-friendly and easy to configure quickly."
"Our productivity has improved with its use."
"The dashboards are pretty good."
 

Cons

"We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"A downside of Avantra is that it comes with predefined values."
"The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved."
"I think they can improve their UI, while very intuitive, I would like to see graphic updates."
"The dashboard needs to improve; it's not so clear right now and we need it to be more usable so we can have all of our reports in one easy-to-access place."
"The tool needs to show only fewer updates."
"They could use more small tutorials to explain a bit about how Grafana works."
"The solution should include integration with Power BI."
"The connection between metrics, logs, and traces could be improved."
"If Grafana Enterprise Stack could display transaction queries in dashboard format similar to New Relic, it would provide more options and capabilities for users."
"I have encountered occasional issues with false inputs or incorrect data in Grafana."
"Integrating AI capabilities for automated self-healing and reduced manual interventions would be valuable."
"I find Grafana really hard to configure. It's difficult to build the dashboard, and it's non-intuitive. In my opinion, it's very difficult to work with Grafana."
