Review for System Shepherd
System Shepherd is a solid monitoring and alerting product
by Sonic Solutions, Inc. on 2010-11-12 18:11:25
The System Shepherd agent / website portal system is a very useful monitoring product that provides alerting on both standard as well as custom server and application metrics. There will be growing pains in getting it set up to your specifications, but once that is achieved, it allows you to simply wait for alert emails or SMS messages to notify you of machine issues. I do highly recommend using the Incident Management support upgrade, which lets their people handle the first response to any issue, and let's them contact you only when escalation is required.

Pros: The agent monitoring system is great at alerting on a variety of metric thresholds. SysShep Portal metric graphs provide a great way to see a variety of metrics gathered in a single view, and have helped us find the cause of several issues already.
Cons: The SysShep agent sometimes stops sending data, which requires attention from the SysShep cust support team. This occurs at a frequency of ~ once per month over 60 agents. Also, the website portal is slow and setting up the configs isn't intuitive.
Best Uses: For metric viewing, setup all graphs for a given server cluster on a single page. See the overall performance traits of that cluster in a single view. For alert thresholds, setup appropriate mon templates, and set thresholds to your desired specs.
Review Context: We use the System Shepherd monitoring agent on roughly 60 cloud VMs hosting various LAMP web services for the commercial website www.PhotoShow.com.
Review for New Relic
Already an integral tool for our systems
by Paul Griffiths on 2012-01-26 11:14:58
Installation of New Relic was quick and simple. Less than an hour after installing we already had enough data to pinpoint bottlenecks in our application. The breakdown of tiers (PHP, Database, Web External) was invaluable. We were able to quickly realise that 3rd party external resources were the cause of some excessive response times. Montoring of new releases is now all done via the New Relic dashboard, we are able to see in pretty much real time if any issues are happening.

AlertBot is extremely reliable even when compared to much more expensive options. You get great personal attention and a really quick and easy to use site. They are receptive to suggestions and are continually working to improve the service. I strongly recommend AlertBot to all my clients and colleagues

Review for QAIassist Integrated Methodology
QAIassist - Scalability
by C Watson on 2010-06-14 10:21:56
Nice to see there is finally something available to SMBs who are seeking affordable tools that can help them with developing and supporting IT applications. Also liked the idea of a "free trial" offer.

Pros: Was able to scale the methodology life-cycles and deliverables to meet my needs - was not overloaded with formality and "red tape" - could pick and choose as required. Best of both worlds - structure on one hand, flexibility on the other.
Cons: Nothing - everything was left in my hands and I used it as was required.
Best Uses: The idea of integrating three (project management, development, testing) life-cycles into a deliverable based methodology is "genius". Creating deliverables ensures the whole team (IT & business) remain in sync throughout the project.
Review Context: From a consultant who frequently experiences SMBs struggling with the inefficiencies of their IT.
Review for Testuff Test Management
It makes software testing pretty easy
by Rakesh on 2011-05-30 08:43:20
I think the combination of low prices and an integrated test suite is enticing enough for users to migrate from on-premise solutions. Besides cost savings, I think the move will also help eliminate redundancy in your testing process by reducing dependency on support personnel within the organization. However, all this comes with a caveat: you must remember that this solution replaces manual testing only. Automated testing will still be dependent on tools such as Load Runner etc.

Review for Metrics
A New way to Measure Cloud Metrics
by Rakesh Sharma on 2012-01-27 09:03:36
With its surreal black and green interface, this one’s a winner. For a technical application, such as this, a simple interface can considerably help non-technical people like me. And, I was not disappointed. Each task or action is not more than two clicks away. What’s more, the interface is task-driven. This means each click is rationed to perform a task. I especially liked the fact that the interface gets right down to business with the attributes and alerts tab.
