Pros

“The wide range of sensors (SNMP, WMI, ping, bandwidth, HTTP and more) lets us monitor servers, network devices and services in one place.”
MR

Mohammed R.

Technical Engineer

“Licensing is based on sensors, so costs rise quickly as monitoring grows, since one device can use many sensors.”
MR

Mohammed R.

Technical Engineer

“Setup is quick, and auto-discovery finds devices and adds sensors almost automatically.”
MR

Mohammed R.

Technical Engineer

Pros

“It gives a clear view of our network in real-time, making it easy to spot and fix issues before they cause major downtime.”
PB

Prashant B.

Consultant

AM

Ahmed M.

Human Resources Manager

“There was a lot of setup involved.”

Michal K.

IT Engineer

Cons

“The licensing structure recently changed to a subscription based one that we can no longer afford, or at least made us look at similar alternatives that offer more features for the same price point.”
NH

Neal H.

Systems Engineer

“The licensing model can get expensive once you start monitoring more devices.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Rabindra k.

Network Security Engineer

“Although they have a good knowledge base and related documentation, there is a lack of support for the customer who has purchased a license they should have more real time support by connecting through any tool and seeing the error without so much documentation or evidence that is sometimes required by other means and more support for configurations and troubleshooting or configuration.”

Lead engineer monitoring and automation IT

Cons

“It does what you need it to but it requires more administration that it should and the performance is poor.”
JR

Joshua R.

Network Admin

“If you nee to see information like network traffic you need an extra license that is additional cost or if you need to see databases performance is other license, so to see the entire picture you will need pay more”
