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.

We can set up a dashboard to monitor the status of an entire site, which provides more insight into any issues across devices
One engineer is enough for the solution's maintenance. There has been a significant improvement in Statseeker in the last few versions. It includes a wallet map and features we plan to implement when deploying the latest or penultimate versions across all our sites. This will significantly assist in identifying sites surpassing thresholds or KPIs, making issue detection much more accessible. The threshold feature is handy for identifying delays and major outages. This graphical map enables us to quickly assess the scope of nationwide problems, allowing for swift action and efficient reporting to management and service providers. This tool facilitates monitoring by visualizing all network elements with their respective coordinates, highlighting any downtimes or issues through color-coded green for operational, orange for approaching thresholds, yellow for minor alarms, and red for critical issues. The tool is a monitoring tool that helps in identifying problems. It is necessary to have someone trained to set up the dashboards because they might require some programming or specific configuration skills. Once it's configured, it works well. It's not as straightforward as other tools where you plug in the device, and everything works. With Statseeker, you still need to put in some effort to set up your dashboard properly. It requires someone with good training and proficiency in setting up these dashboards. They can benefit the technical and operations teams, providing useful insights into the network and the executive management team to receive reports on the overall network health. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The multi-tenancy that's available through this is one of the most valuable things."
"Afterwards, they were impressed by how easy monitoring could be, and they no longer had to edit large text files in order to configure hosts and service checks."
"The dashboards are the real value add for this product in my opinion and enhance customer experience if done properly."
"Opsview provides all the functionality of NetSaint and Nagios but with the simplicity of a GUI front end, using MySQL to centralize configuration."
"Over the past three years, we've grown by about 200%, and the system has been able to manage that growth."
"For me, scalability and reliability are the product's most valuable features."
"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."
"It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."
"I love the historical data and the fact that it doesn't average it when it saves it."
"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where you have everything right there on the screen."
"The most valuable features are scalability and reliability."
"This solution provides us with a quicker response in troubleshooting."
"It helps us track the status of over 1200 devices in multiple geographical locations."
"The most important feature for us is the interface statistics, because our customer normally asks us for bandwidth utilization reports. Statseeker has very descriptive transmit and receive information."
"If you need a product that's able to monitor all the ports in your environment or all the ports that you want, this is a great product to use. Statseeker is quite flexible in tailoring the product, spending time tailoring the product with you. It's fairly low maintenance. It's quite quick."
 

Cons

"We're already evaluating v5.0 and to tell the truth, there's a couple of things that we found really useful in previous versions that for some reason they have removed."
"I wish they'd update the iOS app, which, I think, is the same version I used back in 2012 or so."
"Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved."
"Hard to say, some minor changes could help improve ease of configuring (which have already been requested and are now on the roadmap)."
"Sometimes Opsview has crashed, but the multiple master/slave solution provides consistent uptime for monitoring."
"We are starting to hit the limits of how we can scale out."
"In Opsview 4.6.3, there is no provision for making bulk changes to monitored servers via the GUI, though it is possible to custom-script bulk changes via the API."
"Reload time: Although there have been major gains in the time to process reloads, I think that there is still room for improvement in this area."
"It doesn't do absolutely everything and it will require some additional software or hardware support to be a complete single solution."
"This solution would be improved with better automatic discovery for ping-only devices."
"If it had more detailed NetFlow information then it would be far better."
"We haven't seen an ROI."
"This product provides some good functionality. However, the reporting is right to left, which is less than ideal, the cost is significantly high, and the NetFlow capabilities are lacking."
"It would be nice if I could easily select individual interfaces."
"The main issue I've seen, in the last six months to a year, is when I upgrade I seem to be hitting bugs. The upgrade won't go smoothly and I have to engage support. These things happen when you upgrade, it's not the end of the world, but from a stability point of view, the only time I've so far, is during upgrades."
"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."
"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."
"We pay a yearly maintenance fee of approximately $40,000 USD."
"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
"We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
