Virtana Platform Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Zenoss for monitoring our server infrastructure, with specific configurations of monitoring and alerts for our team. There are a number of times where the company's "standard" monitoring solution isn't configurable to the level we would like, and so we implemented our own solution using Zenoss for our specific set of requirements.

Likelihood to Recommend

Overall I would say that we have been very happy with Zenoss. It has been a great server monitoring tool. There are certain aspects that we would like to expand into, such as Capacity Planning, Network Performance Monitoring, and log analysis. We have coupled Zenoss logs with Splunk for external log management, but would like to start using some of the built-in analysis tools.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Zenoss is a Unified monitoring solution along with Event Management tool Used in multiple customer we support.

This address our proactive monitoring and end to end event automation use cases like generating events for CI's and converting then in to meaningful alerts, enrich them for actionable tickets create in ITSM system.

Likelihood to Recommend

Zenoss is one of the most economical low cost monitoring/AIOPS tools available in the market.

This goes excellent when complete infra is monitoring by itself however if its receiving the events from other monitoring tool then the Event management uses cases will be limited.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Zenoss is an excellent AIOps platform for data analysis across all business activities. The technology is utilised in various functions within our business, making work easier and faster. It improves team communication, allowing administrators to notice and evaluate the root cause of problems.

Likelihood to Recommend

Zenoss is a terrific option for data management, and it is a powerful AI-driven solution that makes teamwork simpler and faster. It facilitates work so that our team can complete a task properly and without interruption.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

With Zenoss services dynamics we are able to monitor physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures from a single platform. Also the ability of it to hierarchically categorize alerts and show the highest level which is most likely where Zenoss is very helpful and advanced. we have been using real-time monitoring of our hybrid IT environment.

Likelihood to Recommend

Out of box classes which is I like the most. You don't need to discover the devices for any individual parameters. Utilizing different modelers and data sources, we've been able to adapt to our client on a large scale. Real-time event based system and support for customer devices. System uptime and reliability monitoring and prediction are problems we are trying to solve.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We needed a central dashboard to monitor all critical systems. We have a lot of systems spread across the globe and each has its own way of reporting metrics, which aren't bad. But we needed a way to centralize this without the overhead of keeping all of these systems in sync.

Metricly was the service that had the best fit. Further, they have a unique way of determining normal operating levels and detection of anomalies. Their solution required little to moderate set up and has run very well since the get-go. Our DevOps team has a central dashboard where we monitor the entire infrastructure. In addition to basic systems monitoring, we also were able to save a great deal on our infrastructure costs. Metricly offers tooling to help determine where your nodes should be dialed in at. This allowed us to streamline our infrastructure and remove wasted resources.

Likelihood to Recommend

Very suited for medium to the large-sized infrastructure where you have a lot of services to monitor. It may be overkill for small infrastructures where you can use the providers' source of metrics instead.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Metricly is used by our SaaS Operations team to analyze AWS costs and cost savings opportunities based on utilization and optimization of the platform spend. This allows us to get a real-time view across multiple AWS accounts for our costs and to easily find orphaned or underutilized deployments done by ad-hoc teams within the organization. We like Metricly because it provides a streamlined and easy to use interface that sits on top of powerful analytics -- saving the operations team from many hours of manual analysis.

Likelihood to Recommend

Merticly is well suited to a mid to large AWS deployment with the need to get a handle on cost and utilization in a single pane of glass. It also provides good APM and metrics, but is more appropriate for a small to mid-size team that also has available cycles to tune its alerts and dashboards.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I work for a reseller/systems integrator that provides Zenoss to Enterprise clients. We're a multi-platform integrator with a strong focus on private/hybrid/multi-cloud infrastructure. Zenoss is a perfect fit for infrastructure monitoring across heterogeneous platforms and the full range of IT infrastructure -- providing that elusive "single pane of glass" for many Op-Center users.

Likelihood to Recommend

Perfect for multi-vendor infrastructure monitoring. Excellent end-to-end troubleshooting, due to real-time dependency mapping.

The new Cloud platform is perfect for widely distributed companies, and those looking to minimize administration requirements for the monitoring platform. The prem-based Zenoss platform would be a better fit for organizations not willing to use a cloud-based monitoring application. Zenoss isn't currently a true app performance monitoring platform, so it would need to be used in conjunction with something like AppDynamics.
