It provides a single pane of glass, giving us visibility into the environment
All our production clusters are in Cloud Insight. It provides a single pane of glass, giving us visibility into the environment, which allows us to understand if any issues are going on across any of our clusters. The main issue we were looking to address was the lack of visibility across all the clusters in one single view. We're using Cloud Insight's Unified Manager. It has improved our ability to support and see the immediate status of the entire environment. If we have a critical incident, we can quickly see these issues and loop in monitoring teams and other teams. For example, if our app team thinks there are issues in the environment, we can quickly see if anything related to storage is part of the problem. It improved our organization by unifying all the various support teams. We all have the same view of what's happening in the environment. The dev team knows what storage is used or not, and we can quickly move on to other activities. Cloud Insights provides a single tool for containers and other cloud-based architectures, but we're not using some of those things, such as Kubernetes. We're primarily leveraging the monitoring and reporting. The solution does a great job of inventorying our resources. It allows us to put the tags on the devices. The process is fast. It also gives you the dependencies. I can dig down into all the related components. Cloud Insight's advanced analytics feature does a good job of highlighting the areas where there might be issues in the future.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloud Secure is definitely the most valuable feature and being able to see file level activity. It gives real-time alerting on possible ransomware attacks and provides file security review. It helps us to see if something abnormal is happening on the system before it's too late."
"All our production clusters are in Cloud Insight. It provides a single pane of glass, giving us visibility into the environment, which allows us to understand if any issues are going on across any of our clusters."
"NetApp Cloud Insights helps with login monitoring and troubleshooting. Previously, if we had performance concerns or needed to interface with other groups and their products, a task that should require only one or two people turned into a six-person job."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"The solution is 98 percent stable."
"Cloud Insights' best features are visibility and the connector to move the workloads."
"Among the most valuable features are the queries and reporting that allow us to look at the utilization of resources, at how well the storage is performing, and to report on which resources are being used by which business units. We can track usage across the entire environment, across applications, business units, cost centers, etc."
"It is good for giving an overview of the systems and for tracking long-term trends. It is handy for root cause analysis, e.g. it can eliminate whether storage is the cause of an issue."
"It is a product that is familiar for a lot of users."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Provides everything in one solution."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is beneficial for the discovery of all CIs in our environment."
"I like the solution mostly for CMDB discovery."
"Has service mapping, impact management, metric intelligence and health of analytics."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a stable product."
"The solution allows you to subscribe to the features you need and utilize CMDB, ITSM, and discovery on the same platform."
 

Cons

"Most of the time, I initially connect with entry-level support, and then I need to request a higher-tier support level, which can result in delays."
"The support is not very quick."
"The visualization needs some improvement because there are occasional delays while the system queries information."
"When I did need support because I was having problems with the solution, the first or the second line just didn't understand it. They were providing this only on a software as a service basis. So, they were asking all the wrong questions."
"Their pricing model needs improvement."
"Cloud Insights could offer more detail when we drill down into the Azure environment."
"In a perfect world we would have something built, right out-of-the-box, that can identify what we call "noise," and reduce the amount of data. You're presented with so much data when you first start the data collectors. For example, it brings back a lot of change rates that happen just because of standard computing, like profile changes and that sort of thing. Being able to identify things like that and categorize them and strip it down—and it probably can do that, I just haven't gotten there yet—would be very beneficial."
"The IP-based monitoring could be added in a future release."
"I advise others not to customize a lot while using the solution."
"The solution's subscription model could be improved."
"It should have better integrations with other solutions."
"There are not enough apps in the app store to expand functionality. There should be more made available."
"We are facing difficulties with service mapping of CIs from the end users, and are seeking help from third-party vendors."
"Regarding ServiceNow, there is room for improvement in terms of customization, particularly in the area of self-customization."
"The pricing is high."
"I would like more manual issues to have automated report-facing options."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is based on the device you purchase and includes support services."
"The licensing model could be improved. We love that you can use it for free for looking at NetApp products. You only need licenses to look at non-NetApp products, but as soon as you do that, you start utilizing licenses that actually would have been free in the public. So, there is a bit of an anomaly in the licensing model."
"The solution is expensive."
"We are billed based on management units, so we can purchase units based on six months, twelve months, twenty-four months, or thirty-six months upfront or pay as you go depending on our requirements."
"The licensing is complex. The calculation depends on what you're ingesting. A terabyte of one product is not a terabyte of another product. Virtual machines don't equate so easily. It's all about the end-use managed units and having an easy place to reference how far those units go."
"Be aware of the capacity licensing and understand how that works, because it is based on capacity. Getting an understanding of that is the biggest thing."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a costly solution. I'd rate the price at ten, on a scale from one to ten with one being the lowest and ten being the highest price. Some clients do have a problem with the price, but most find that the solution is worth the cost."
"There are additional costs, you have to pay more for everything."
"It has different subscription models."
"The solution is costly compared to the products offered by its competitors."
"We obtained discovery licenses at about seven dollars Australian per unit, which we found to be reasonable and competitive."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten since there are vendors who are cheaper."
"This solution offers good value but comes at a very high premium. Pricing could be reduced by 10 to 20%."
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
