Hakimuddin Ronaque - PeerSpot reviewer
Has the capability to automatically integrate with a large number of products
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten. I have not worked much on other technologies, like SAP or VMware's virtualization part, on-prem infrastructure, or cloud infrastructure. Instana Infrastructure Monitoring is so fast and easy to adapt that it works fine. I have not explored other operating systems or infrastructure solutions because my company doesn't have that customer scale. Most of our customers are on-prem or on AWS or Azure, but Instana Infrastructure Monitoring adapts to their infrastructure very well. My company came to know how well Instana Infrastructure Monitoring adapts to our customers' infrastructures when we take care of the PoC phase. Around 12 to 15 people in my company use the product.
Jeff Cronstrom - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly stable solution that can be used to monitor system availability
The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup. You can clone that service, and it allows you to add new services quickly. You can bring up new servers, and you can easily add them. Also, there's an API to be able to add services as well. We don't use the API. We mostly use the cloning function because it stores everything in a back-end database. The underlying monitoring platform for our version is Nagios. That's where we upgraded from Nagios to Opsview.
