Evanios vs IBM Tivoli NetCool OMNIbus comparison

"The most valuable feature is the integration with various alert-generating systems because you might have synthetic alerts or monitoring alerts for volume drops."

"Provided up to a 90% noise reduction in some our noisy monitoring tools."

"The ability to manipulate events via JavaScript getting the exact data that we want."

"OMNIbus is valuable for its compatibility and performance, as I haven't encountered any performance issues."

"The biggest plus points for me are the configurability and scalability of the solution, as well as the multi-tenancy of the platform."

"The monitoring is the solution's most valuable feature."

"It's good for managed systems. The end query on the user interface is good. You can view lots of charts and graphs."

"Probes are the best feature because they are well written which rarely requires you to write additional rules. These probes monitor activity within your environment."

"The most valuable feature is the event management capability."

"It is an easy-to-use solution."

"It is customer-centric. Customers can access the event list from their location or desktop and view the event. There is no need to go and connect to any other server and run events to have a view of all the events happening in the environment. We get a good response from customers about this feature and the main architecture of NetCool. Its processing is very good. Deduplication and correlation functionalities are good in this solution as compared to other solutions. A big advantage of NetCool is that it also supports multi-layered protocols. We can receive multiple events from different protocols like UDP, HTTP, and those events can be captured in NetCool."

"More complex correlation rules would be nice. The ability to clearly define a parent event in a correlation and nested correlations, specifically."

"We would like the ability to have an "exit" option for events when they are being processed."

"The price could be cheaper."

"They could enhance the visibility to give us a unified view of our entire IT infrastructure."

"I would like for the next release to be more user-friendly and out of date. The next release should focus on the cloud, AI, and ML technologies."

"The web portal and typical event controls are a little outdated."

"Its integration could be better. They should provide an easier integration for all the monitoring stuff, and it will make things easier for us. Currently, there is a complexity in integrating it with a vendor application, and we have to use another tool to integrate it with a vendor application. To integrate some applications with NetCool, I need to install an IBM tool on top of it. It would be good if they can provide an API or any kind of interface that we can leverage while developing a new protocol interface or application. We should be able to use an API or interface with NetCool. Its GUI can also be better. As compared to other tools, it is not user friendly, and it is not easy to do stuff through GUI. Whenever we do anything on the GUI, it takes time. They need to focus on the GUI part, especially the dashboard. They should focus on how users can effectively drill down from one box to another. The visual appeal of the dashboard is as important as the data and functionality."

"The solution needs to invest in the development of a knowledge base and use of AI services for providing event resolution and intervention directions."

"There should be an easier-to-understand model, more of a flat-structured model rather than different tiers of licenses which complicates licensing."

"The solution has limitations in database integration as it cannot integrate with databases other than IBM DB2."

"The cost of the product is quite high. They should work to adjust their pricing models."

"Its license cost is a little bit more than other solutions. Our customers expect a standard market price that is comparative to other products. For each and every NetCool OMNIbus component, we have to purchase a separate license. These components are not free with the product."

"You have to have the right level of budget to afford this solution."

"It is a costly solution."
