What have enterprise tech professionals been writing about IT infrastructure monitoring tools in 2022?
In our most recent user reviews, PeerSpot users share their opinions of the most important things to look for when evaluating IT infrastructure monitoring, and which tool they recommend would be best for SQL monitoring in a large enterprise so far in 2022.
Question: When evaluating IT Infrastructure Monitoring, what aspect do you think is the most important to look for?
Stacy L., Chief Marketing Officer at Goliath Technologies, shares the following three things to keep an eye out for:
- Ease of deployment and maintenance. The ideal solution will auto-discover your environment and have intelligence built in to tell you what to monitor and how to monitor, with built-in alerts that leverage industry best practice thresholds. This way, users can anticipate issues and resolve them before users are impacted.
- Historical, real-time, and discrete data that will show all IT infrastructure elements used to deliver a single end-user experience. The only way to monitor and troubleshoot issues is to have full visibility into the true user experience.
- Document all user activity, behavior, and system performance so that you can share, integrate, and enhance data to collaborate with management, other IT teams, application vendors, and even end-users.
Dmytro K., Solution Architect, Head of BizDev at Greg Solutions, suggests the most important aspects to look for when evaluating IT infrastructure monitoring include unifications, plug-in based architecture, and support that responds quickly. Like other reviewers also mention, Dmytro agrees that ROI is also significant to look out for.
Michael D., Technology Investment Consultant at Michael Delzer Consulting, mentions that the most important thing is “The ability for the solution to correlate data from across the enterprise to remove noise in alerts, and for the alerts to be able to trigger automation to remediate a known problem/incident.”
Question: What is the best tool for SQL monitoring in a large enterprise?
A Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at a tech services company answers:
“I highly recommend 2 products from the SolarWinds ITOM Suite;
Both products are integrated.
Additionally, Pieter V. says: “It is a very easy answer. For sure OpsMgr (SCOM). The simple reason is, Microsoft developed OpsMgr (SCOM) to monitor Microsoft products and the best to do this. NO other monitoring toolset can do it as good as OpsMgr (SCOM). OpsMgr (SCOM) can do 3rd party monitoring as well.”
Another PeerSpot user, Walter H., says: “We have used Microsoft system center operations manager and it integrates well with SQL. We are starting to use open source tools and sending the metrics to Wavefront. This provides more real time monitoring but extensive development. The main issue we have in our environment with SCOM is real time ability. “
Morne' O., Lead specialist at OKCIUS (Pty) Ltd, gives his opinion too, stating that “I personally believe in SCOM (Operations Manager) since it contains all the required tools to monitor and manage SQL operationally. Majority of enterprises already have the Microsoft EA in place so the System Center licensing is already available along with SQL.”
