Haseeb Sheikh - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager Enterprise Solutions at a media company with 201-500 employees
Proactive monitoring has improved availability and capacity reporting for my infrastructure
The current features including availability, performance, and capacity are good enough, and I think more of better alerting along with improved thresholds of alerts should be implemented. It is helpful, but it should also include the capability to detect zero-day attacks if there are any. I think the remediation could have been better. For example, if I am upgrading my firmware or BIOS or firmware of the infrastructure, it should give me exact CVSS scores and remediation data provided against the CVSS scores. I think the Dell CloudIQ app could be more interactive. If there is a possibility that I can open tickets or SRs via the Dell CloudIQ app, that would be a good feature.

Customizable solution that provides the ability to ingest alerts from different systems
The price could be cheaper. That was one reason why we switched to PagerDuty. We wanted to switch to something that provided the same features but at a lower cost. We also switched because PagerDuty provided other features like integration with ServiceNow and the scheduling of engineers. Evanios was only for event integration. Evanios created too much noise. For every alert, it would create an incident. We received too many alerts and incidents from monitoring. It wasn't able to intelligently ingest alerts. It created 4,000 incident tickets in a month, which didn't reflect what was happening. If we received an alert, the synthetic monitoring and volume drop would give us the same alert. Evanios should include alert ingestion and de-duplication of alerts and noise reduction. We couldn't have people resolving each and every incident. PagerDuty gives us reports on how many alerts are being ingested, how many are noise, how many have bigger incidents, and which of the alerts are creating noise. It would be helpful if Evanios had metrics on the amount of alerts and types of the alerts to show which ones were serious incidents and which ones were just noise.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate CloudIQ a ten out of ten."
"The mobile application is the most valuable feature for us; we can monitor all the storages on our phones, and it's really good."
"Some of the most valuable features of CloudIQ include its health status alerts, which allow you to see quickly if there is something that needs immediate attention, preventing the need to check each system individually."
"I use Dell CloudIQ for the availability and capacity reporting, which is very helpful in terms of capacity and availability reporting, and if there is any fault or faulty drive or faulty part, I am alerted on time with that, which is the main benefit that avoids any unplanned outage."
"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."
"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."
"CloudIQ allows us to monitor our servers centrally, and we can receive notifications in case of issues, like a potential hard drive failure."
"Provided up to a 90% noise reduction in some our noisy monitoring tools."
"Evanios has helped us reduce our incident count by about 60% in just three months into implementation and we are seeing great ROI right from the first month."
"Incredible ROI: As soon as we switched to Evanios, we started seeing events that were being unknowingly suppressed in our previous solution."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with various alert-generating systems because you might have synthetic alerts or monitoring alerts for volume drops."
"Evanios has in some areas provided up to a 90% noise reduction in some our noisy monitoring tools."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with various alert-generating systems because you may have synthetic alerts or monitoring alerts for volume drops."
"Creation of incidents was previously a manual process with lots of copy and paste, swivel chair, mistakes, and missed events, and everything is now automated with events correlated and deduplicated, as well as crosschecks against scheduled change outages."
"The ability to manipulate events via JavaScript getting the exact data that we want."
 

Cons

"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"Getting through support has become a difficult thing. Dell's support has degraded since they took over EMC. It's a bit difficult to use."
"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."
"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"I think the remediation could have been better."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"The main limitation of CloudIQ is that it is intended to be used exclusively with Dell hardware."
"There were initially some minor issues around domain separation in ServiceNow."
"More complex correlation rules would be nice. The ability to clearly define a parent event in a correlation and nested correlations, specifically."
"More complex correlation rules would be nice. The ability to clearly define a parent event in a correlation and nested correlations, specifically."
"The price could be cheaper."
"Evanios created too much noise. For every alert, it would create an incident."
"We would like the ability to have an "exit" option for events when they are being processed."
"System information and status (easy to read for all levels of IT) Clearer instructions on setting up alert notifications to support staff in the event of an issue with product: There are some instructions on their support site but I'm looking for something a little more detailed to understand the flow of events (expected compared to unexpected)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is more expensive than NetApp which offers file systems in various price ranges."
"I believe it is a free product because we don't pay for it."
