Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
The primary return comes from its effectiveness, leading to significant cost savings, especially since we can create tenants and allow multiple countries to utilize the nodes through shared tools.
It saves time by issuing alerts that notify engineers about problems or incidents.
the support is quick and meets service-level agreements
I get an instant response and on-call support as well.
The complexities and internal processes in approvals necessitate a more tailored support approach, ensuring that assistance is relevant and timely.
The product is very easy to scale.
A single polling engine with enterprise supports up to 100 additional polling engines, monitoring up to 100,000 elements per instance.
The scalability of SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability is great.
In my current environment, we have experienced instability likely due to the deployment not meeting required standards.
Grafana does have features that I think my current solution lacks, such as better performance reporting.
The solution could improve in areas such as CICD observability.
The initial setup and configuration can also be complex for new users.
I think deeper integration into Kubernetes, serverless functions, and cloud-native tracing can be implemented as these matter to many organizations.
The pricing is mid-segment, which means it is neither cheap nor expensive compared to other products.
The new pricing models lack clarity in communication, bundling services that we may not actually need, leading to unnecessary costs.
Before, everything was licensed. Now with SaaS, it is easy, but some companies say that they are SaaS, but their business model is a license, so it is difficult to do business with them.
Opsview's alerting capabilities are very helpful, and they positively impact our incident response times.
It is easy to scale by increasing the count of observable objects, adding additional servers, and polling engines, which is crucial for enterprise-level projects.
It has an alerting engine where I can define thresholds and configure custom alerts, which can also be integrated with ITSM or a ticketing system to auto-create tickets.
Smart Alerts in SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability has been really helpful for our team. For instance, one day, a switch interface started hitting high utilization, which would have caused slowness in network traffic. SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability sent an alert immediately, so we could check the devices and fix the issue before users noticed any problem.
