Good for IoT devices and occupation-calculations, but there are issues with stability and it is not user-friendly
Many areas need improvement, but stability has some issues. We don't always know what the configurations are all about. They change the configuration possibilities all of the time and we don't always get the same software results. In the next release, I would like to see it easier to use.

Good value, easy to use, and easy to deploy
In terms of what can be improved, that is a question I think the end users can tell you better. I'm not the end-user for this system. However, I can say that it needs to be more scalable. I think they already have a good value proposition in terms of being a hybrid model, and the reporting is okay, as well. It could have better integration with other SIEMs, but this integration has to come from the SIEM side, not ObserveIT.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The scalability is one of the best."
"Meta data search Alert generation."
"Record videos that have a very small file size Management interface is very convenient and intuitive"
"It resolved security issues of the organization by providing audit reports and records to our customers."
"Customer Service: The ObserveIT professional services team has been excellent, extremely engaged and genuinely concerned with our success."
"All my clients are very pleased with this product as it helps them to keep track of what partners and employees are doing on the servers."
"Overall, it gives a consistent and really good return on investment."
"ObserveIT is small, easy to use, easy to deploy, and is not complicated, so it's more generally suited for only SMBs. It's a good value with a cheaper price."
 

Cons

"We don't always know what the configurations are all about. They change the configuration possibilities all of the time and we don't always get the same results."
"Many areas need improvement, but stability has some issues."
"ObserveIT is not scalable and it's not for the medium to large corporations. It's for the smaller environments. For the larger corporations, we have other scalable solutions."
"Ticketing and issue management. Based on the new system, one needs to go through the sales people."
"I had some problems with an instance of ObserveIT in a Proof of Concept, when I installed ObserveIT with an SQL Express instance and the DB used all provisioned space."
"The tool is still not providing records of tunnels established - we would like to see it in future versions."
"OCR capability, support for Mainframe, Ticketing and Incident workflow."
