Featured Reviews

Michael Wenn - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides strong event correlation features, but its initial setup should be made easier
The solution's integrations are out of the box, and it is easy to integrate the tool with many technologies through its APIs. Moogsoft is always deployed on the cloud. Since it's a SaaS-based solution, it's cloud-delivered but also deploys to a hybrid or on-premises situation. The solution attaches itself to any environment size, but it's delivered via SaaS. The solution has room for improvement, but it's a pretty good technology. It does very well in delivering a big impact for businesses. Now, since it's owned by Dell and has the financial backing, it'll go from strength to strength. It's built by two very experienced co-founders who have used this type of technology before and were very much ahead of the curve. I'm still implementing the solution, and it is a platform that can deliver to something as big as HSBC. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Effortlessly blends management systems for comprehensive infrastructure insight
ServiceNow IT Operations Management brought together Intune and SCCM or MECM really well. It provided out-of-the-box integrations, requiring only minimal effort, typically a couple of days, to massage those systems into a seamless operation. Additionally, the performance analytics of ServiceNow was especially beneficial for setting thresholds, aggregating, and correlating infrastructure data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Moogsoft's most valuable features are event management, correlation, and observability."
"The product currently seems to be a few steps ahead of the competition."
"There are AI features in Moogsoft. Moogsoft has one wonderful feature that allows you to convert multiple alarms into situations. Generally, all other MoM tools get the alarms, and then convert it into an incident directly. There is one extra layer they have added before converting any alarm into an incident. Suppose there are multiple alarms that are somehow all related to a single source of issue. It converts all the alarms into a single situation, which then gets converted into an incident."
"The operations are familiar with how to use Moogsoft, so they are keeping it."
"Incident management is streamlined with Moogsoft. One standout feature is its unique situation-creation capability, differentiating it from other fault management tools. While other tools typically convert alarms directly into tickets or incidents, Moogsoft adds a middle layer where multiple alarms can be aggregated into one incident. Moogsoft's strong AI capabilities also allow it to correlate similar alarms automatically based on past experiences."
"The Event Management feature is quite valuable."
"The tool's event correlation and AI are its strongest parts."
"I find the unsupervised learning algorithms for noise reduction particularly valuable. The algorithm's ability to identify and reduce noise is a feature we initially liked. The anomaly detection feature is excellent for maintaining system uptime as it helps identify problems quickly."
"I like the tool's discovery feature."
"The way this solution has helped us is that it improved our communication."
"It is a product that is familiar for a lot of users."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The most important features of ServiceNow IT Operations Management are the discovery service mapping and orchestration."
"I like the solution mostly for CMDB discovery."
"The scalability of ServiceNow is good."
"It's easy to set up."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to improve its support. It appears that the support responsiveness from Moogsoft is not aligned with the severity of the incident. Instead of proactively addressing issues, customers have to chase Moogsoft for resolution. In Moogsoft, unlike other tools like Splunk, the process follows a step-by-step sequence. You need to start each process in a specific order, typically following a sequence."
"I would like to see how Moogsoft integrates with the multi-cloud and brings out a single pane of glass, to see everything on one screen."
"The documentation and flexibility for generic integration could be improved."
"I would like to see more integrations. It is rather difficult to install the enterprise systems with the agents."
"The product roadmap doesn't align with our roadmap."
"The solution's initial setup is complex, and it should be made easier."
"It is taking a long time to set it up and could do more to roll out quickly."
"The unsupervised learning algorithms in Moogsoft are valuable, but the learning processes, run book creation, and neural feedback areas could be improved."
"At times, it got cumbersome from the project management perspective. It could have been because of the way we were using it. I found Microsoft Project to be more extensive and robust than ITOM."
"Service mapping is pretty limited."
"There is room for improvement in service mapping within ServiceNow ITOM."
"The security policies could be increased."
"I advise others not to customize a lot while using the solution."
"The solution’s licensing cost could be improved."
"If you are new to using the solution, you will find the setup complex."
"We are facing difficulties with service mapping of CIs from the end users, and are seeking help from third-party vendors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a very cost-effective and competitive product."
"The solution is very good from a business impact point of view, but it's quite expensive because it's an enterprise-grade solution."
"When compared to other solutions, it is quite good."
"As for pricing, Moogsoft recently updated their pricing model, and we're still evaluating it. It's an area where clarity is needed with the new alert-based pricing model."
"Moogsoft's licensing is consumption-based, so the price may increase depending on the environment."
"There are additional costs, you have to pay more for everything."
"The cost of ServiceNow is much higher."
"It is moderately expensive. The pricing itself and the licensing options are depending on the model and the customization."
"The solution offers yearly licenses and a subscription model for add-on features."
"It has different subscription models."
"This solution offers good value but comes at a very high premium. Pricing could be reduced by 10 to 20%."
"The price of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is expensive."
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
