Site24x7

"Fantastic Product"

Vorteile: Well what can I say about Site24x7. The product is:
Easy to use
Monitors almost any environment
Fantastic support
Very reasonably priced!
I would recommend this platform to any company looking to in-depth monitor both their on-premise and cloud based platforms. All in all a great product.

Nachteile: Whilst the majority of the product looks very slick, especially when you drill into problem monitors, there are some Dashboards that could look nicer! However if aesthetics is not your issue then there is no better product out there!

"All in one monitoring solution"

Kommentare: Overall the experience has been good. It's very fast and easy to set up.

Vorteile: Easy to use, very cheap and powerful. It has many features to monitor from server health, to website URL and integration with third party applications as well.

Nachteile: APM monitoring not as powerful as some other enterprise software, but they are more expensive.

"site24x7 Perfect tool to monitor you environment"

Vorteile: Alerting with sms and telephone call world wide. good overview of what is going on in you environment.
clickpath monitoring of you websites. very powerfull, you can even upload your own services to monitor. Perfect tool

Nachteile: When you get a phone call that a server of services is down. IT is some times hard to understand what the computer is saying. When you get the call in the middel of the night, is it's good that is starts by saying "this is site24x7 bla bla bla" but in the daytime is would be nice that the message is a little bit shorter and to the point.

"Cloud Monitoring"

Kommentare: Cloud monitoring of networked devices alongside ith logging feature.

Vorteile: Free demo available for teams to check their servers and network devices for their health monitoring.

Nachteile: Features are paid and demo is available for a shorter period of time.

"DBA's review on Site24x7"

Kommentare: In general it's a pretty good tool that I woul recommend to look at, if you need standard (e.g. OS type monitoring) and to me works like an addon to other monitoring software such as New Relic, SQL Monitor with their own specific pros and cons ...

Vorteile: Ability to keep good track of your estate with detailed alerting and notificions through a number of channels (text, voice, email etc.) depending on the priority or environment.
Really helps to judge wheather something is going on production which need's immediate attention or let the alert be for a while when CPU consumtion on test is a bit high, that doesn't require immediate attention.

Nachteile: It's pretty hard to implement standard build plugins or even implement your own custom build plugins.
This has everything to do the way things are meassured and the way thresholds and availability checks are setup. You could endup with a bunch of false possitives during the night .... It would help a lot if this was documented better or explained in a training of some kind.
