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 CMDB Cloud
Cloud based Helpdesk App with an ITIL Difference
by Rakesh on 2011-07-13 13:18:17
If you are a user who is interested in ITIL compliance as well as tracking cloud server activity for faster resolution of your problems, then this product is for you. The software has a simple, easy-to-use interface, consisting of a master menu on the left hand bar. You can check the overall dashboard, issues, task list, and feeds at the top of the screen. Navigation is fairly easy and performing a task is never more than two clicks away. I thought the connector screen (displayed below) was especially fascinating as it provides a wonderful snapshot of infrastructure dependencies.

Review for New Relic
Amazing tool
by Viktors on 2012-01-26 11:24:23
New Relic allows to see performance for each component of the stack on the same chart. I had experience with that before using in-house tools, to measure latency added by Solr, internal API, database, and the site itself - it's so great that finally there's a tool to do that properly. It also doesn't slow down the servers by sending the information (unlike some other monitoring tools like AirBrake).

Cons: The UI is a bit difficult to navigate - the tool has evolved a lot, and because of that there are too many options.
Review Context: Experienced developer.
Review for 3scale
Taking APIs to the next step
by Paul Nulty on 2010-11-08 09:01:29
Anyone serious with its API strategy would consider an outsourced API management solution. We have used this cloud-based solution and have been satisfied with the initial results. We had to properly manage or web-services to understand the ROI a solution like this can help you just do that. We have not yet moved to the paid version but we are seriously considering it.

Pros: real plug&play approach scalability support quality
Cons: Although they have a self-service sign-up option, I would recommend reaching out to the team. They are responsive and can provide great advice on where/how to get started.
Review for Symetriq
Excellent Cloud Based Virtual Server platform

Pros: The portal gives you the ability to build a complex datacentre (virtual obv!) very easily. You can spec up the servers as required and scale them up and down easily to deal with peaks in demand. It's much easier to use than any other cloud platform
Cons: Its only pay as you go at present, which is fine for us at the moment. They did say that you will be able to pay on 30 days terms very soon though.
Best Uses: We use it for scalable web hosting, both internally and externally. Our own site peaks during the week but is not used much over the weekend. One of our customers sees peaks at lunch break and at 6pm. We also run our CRM system on it.
Review Context: I am CEO of a web design/hosting/IT company based in Birmingham.
Review for WorkXpress Build from Scratch
Workxpress is the PaaS of choice
by Cloudsuite on 2011-11-04 23:18:45
As an budding entrepreneur I looked at various software development houses to help get my idea off the ground, unfortunately the cost barrier was to high. I then discovered workxpress a platform that allowed me to realise my vision and develop the application without the need to learn how to code. Workxpress support is responsive and the ongoing training from the team is second to none, furthermore the continued development of the platform has lead to some dramatic improvements of feature creation. I cannot recommend Workxpress highly enough, if you have an idea for a database driven app then you should try this software, I think you will be surprised at how easy it is.

Review Context: I have developed an online recruitment software using the workxpress engine.

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.
