ManageEngine AlarmsOne Reveiw
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I've used ManageEngine AlarmsOne at a previous company for monitoting of our Server Environment and Event Log analysis. We also intergrated with our ticket logging system where tickets will be raised against alarms and/or events depending on their severity. It was very convenient because it allowed monitoring the whole enterprise from a single interface and even offered apps for mobile devices so it allowed our team to monitor on the go.
Pros
- It monitors your networks, server and application infrastructure availability and health.
- It also intergrates with third party tools by raising tickets and incidents for the service desk.
- The fact that it is cloud based allows monitoring from one interface accross large Enterprises which have their infrastructure spread ccross te globe.
Cons
- It seems it was mainly designed for server environments, if applied to serverless environments the pricis will not be justified.
- It picks up on alerts and event logs but does not pick up on critical services especially pn Microsoft servers which may have stopped.
- Installation and configuration was a challenge and we finally got close to the desired results through trial and error.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is best suited for Server Environments and Enterprises which have their IT infrastructure spread over a wide and different geographical location because since it is cloud based, monotoring can be be done from a single interface, it even comes with a mobile app so you dont allways have to be in fron of your laptop or Dasboard Screen to be able to do helth check or to have visibilty on occurences in the environment.
