We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider. We also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients.

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.

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.

There is always room for improvement, and part of the reason we're looking at Grafana is because there are things it can do that Opsview cannot do as well.

Maybe the graphical representation can be improved. It can be enhanced for better visualization. It could be a little better. And the graph center can be improved.

Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved.

In a future release, we would like to have Observ for AI. Any AI and intelligence it can add to the monitoring is obviously beneficial. We would also like to have automated callouts.

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.
