Senior Technical Architect at T-Systems International GmbH
Offers reliable Ops Agent and logging transport feature with easy third-party integrations
As part of our company, we implemented several changes in our log analytics pattern, including the storage and procurement process. Earlier, before implementing the solution, our company was able to procure only one year of data, but later, we came to the three-year mark. Around 15-20% reduction has been witnessed in the total analytic consumption of our company. The aforementioned result was possible because the solution allowed the creation of a dashboard where factors like storage costs, proportion of logs, and logs presence in a storage bucket or Big Query can all be checked. Earlier all logs were stored in a raw storage, but currently our company is able to move logs in table bucket that contributes towards cost savings. It has default integration for all gcp services. recently managed Prometheus support gives more flexibility to organizations to remain connected with their current Prometheus setup. We leveraged integrated FinOps Hub for recommendations for our workloads and server configurations, helpd us lot in order to get maximum TCO.

Real-time dashboards have improved our deployment monitoring and incident response
We are using Opsview ourselves, rather than being a consultant or a reseller. We do not use its auto-discovery feature. We do not utilize its API driven architecture. I do not know what metrics we use to assess the effectiveness of Opsview's hybrid IT monitoring. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with Opsview as it is good for what it does. I do not know if Grafana has any other advantages besides better stats, as I am not involved in that side. Based on my experience, I would still recommend Opsview to others as it is good for what it does. I gave this review a rating of 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our company has a corporate account for Google Cloud and so our systems and clusters integrate really well."
"I like the monitoring feature."
"It has reduced the amount of time that we would take for troubleshooting."
"It's easy to use."
"Offers a valuable logging transport feature"
"The features that I have found most valuable are its graphs - if I need any statistics, in Kubernetes or Kong level or VPN level, I can quickly get the reports."
"I would tell potential users that the current version is much nicer than the previous one."
"The cloud login enables us to get our logs from the different platforms that we currently use."
"For me, scalability and reliability are the product's most valuable features."
"The fully-extensible event handling has enabled us to reduce on-call incidents by more than 90%."
"We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider, and we also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients."
"Over the past three years, we've grown by about 200%, and the system has been able to manage that growth."
"Opsview, though not the least expensive Nagios-based commercial monitoring product offers excellent value for performance which rivals expensive commercial products from the major IT vendors; it is well worth the money paid for it."
"We now have a single view for all systems monitored within our IT estate, while we previously had three different systems (each configured differently)."
"With the monitoring capabilities, I can tell when things happen and be proactive about them instead of constantly putting out fires."
"I like its scalability thanks to slaves, as you can add as many as you want, which also allows you to reach and monitor devices running on the network that are not accessible by the master."
 

Cons

"The process of logging analytics can be improved"
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
"Operations documentation could be a bit better. It took us some time to get up and running with it."
"The logging functionality could be better."
"Google Stackdriver is a stable product, but there is some lagging we cannot stop."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
"It could be even more automated."
"Hard to say, some minor changes could help improve ease of configuring (which have already been requested and are now on the roadmap)."
"There is one feature that I've been requesting for a while now. Going back to this multi-tenancy thing, right now the tenants can't create their own service checks, so that's still a process they have to get with us."
"Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved."
"SNMP traps management to be improved."
"Large Opsview setups come with high licensing fees."
"The graphing feature needs work, although it has been rewritten in release 5.0 and we have yet to deploy it."
"It's probably the priciest option of all its main competitors."
"We have had some stability issues, but that is largely because we're using an unsupported database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a basic standard license without any additional costs."
"The cost could be lower."
"The cost of using Stackdriver depends on usage."
"The solution is not cheap. I think that the pricing is a little bit on the high side."
"I would rate pricing a seven out of ten, where ten is the highest price."
"The solution is priced similarly to other tools offering similar features."
