Summary
I find Cloudian HyperIQ to be invaluable for its excellent Grafana dashboard and S3 monitoring features, despite needing improvements in installation, reporting, and alert mechanisms. The tool shows strong ROI, making it essential for our organization.
Pros
"The tool has a very good interface and helps to monitor the nodes and resources. The most valuable feature is the S3 dashboard. It helps in migration, and we can monitor the data for at least three months. "
Cons
"The installation process needs to be improved, and the tool needs a better script. Cloudian HyperIQ runs on Docker containers. Sometimes, the file system gets filled. The tool needs to have separate Docker volumes in the installation script. The documentation for reporting needs to be improved. I am not able to generate reports using it. The alert mechanisms also need to be improved. It should integrate with AI and give more metrics to be taken up next year. We can show the response peak as an improvement to our leadership."
What is our primary use case?
The solution has an amazing Grafana dashboard for operations and management. We give the dashboard to the client to view, upload and get outputs of documents.
How has it helped my organization?
During maintenance cycles or outages, you can look at the dashboard to troubleshoot issues. The dashboard helps us to determine the upload/download frequency, maintenance time, etc. From an organizational perspective, the tool has improved monitoring and helped us eliminate reports. It has reporting features, and we can look at the dashboard for metrics and decide on what to invest for the next fiscal year.
