AIMS Monitoring Review

Kommentare: My Overall experience has been pretty good and I have worked with BizTalk and Logic Apps. it was Pretty easy to understand and go through it.
It gives us way of Making Decisions by Looking at the statistical data.it also helps to do real time Monitoring.

Vorteile:

AIMS Monitoring Tool Provides a way where we can easily Monitor our environments. Its Very easy to Install and doesn't need to worry about modifying any System Settings. it already has built in agents for BizTalk,SQL, Windows Server, Azure Cloud like Logic Apps and Service Bus. The Main advantage of this Kind of Tool is you dint need to Continuously look and Monitor it. we can easily setup an Alerts and raise the Flag on them. We can easily see the analytics on each components and create your own reports. We can also created our own dashboards.

Nachteile:

We can Create more documentation so that the Customers who actually use it doesn't need to take much time. For Instance: 1.Creating a Custom Agent and pushing Custom events though it doesn't have much information in it.

Proactive monitoring

Kommentare: AIMS monitoring platform is differentiated, as it relies on intelligent, proactive monitoring capabilities that leverage AI and machine learning, this is in addition to the traditional real-time monitoring. It initially analyzes the normal patterns on a granular level, and reports any deviation from these previously captured patterns. It could potentially provide a way for mission critical and business critical systems to closely monitor their systems in an abstracted, proactive manner, and immediately reports any deviations, for operators to look into. This gives an edge for operators, when it comes to investigating issues early on, and having enough time to pin-point and fix these issues before getting compounded and having a major impact on the business.

Vorteile:

AIMS platform provides real-time technical and business insights and abstracts complexities of configurations & the need for manual thresholds. AIMS relies on proprietary machine learning cloud-based engine for detecting anomalies in previously analyzed patterns. Easy to install agents on-premises in a few minutes, no data store or engine installation required on-premises. AIMS built-in Agents span across BizTalk Server, SQL Server, Windows Server, and Azure Logic Apps, and Service Bus. In case you need to have your own custom agent, AIMS provides an SDK along with documentation. It provides a way to find and correlate events that span across multiple platforms in dashboards. It provides a way to create customized dashboards that suits your solution.

Nachteile:

In case needed, custom agent development will initially require some effort and coding from your side.

AIMS installation and first use review

Kommentare: AIMS is a young and very motivated company who really believe in their software and philosophy of machine learning and AI regarding integration monitoring. The people I had contact with, are very willing to help you out with questions.

Vorteile:

The installation is almost too easy. Just a few clicks and some minor configuration and the SQL, Windows and BizTalk Agents are installed. Completely the opposite of BIzTalk360, which requires a lot of configuration. After the installation the agents automatically start collecting data.

Nachteile:

I would like to see the possibility to gather tracking data and BAM data, in order to do business analysis without having to connect to the BizTalk Servers.

AIMS Usability

Vorteile:

The facility how it's possible to use for make an monitoring Platform for your integration architecture.

Nachteile:

The cloud integration is not easy to understand for final customer, i think it's better for craete a monitoring Platform but for the final customer is very hard to explain.

Nice looking reports

Vorteile:

AIMS provides an elegant way to get an integrated look at how your BizTalk system is running

Nachteile:

In my view it should have a way of acting on the found issues.
