What is your primary use case for WhatsUp Gold?

As the system engineer here, my experience is in deploying proof of concept setups to help clients. We test and integrate the infrastructure to monitor devices to monitor their up or down status. It's primarily for infrastructure device monitoring rather than application monitoring.

I use the solution in my company for our networks and monitoring purposes. The tool is used in IT infrastructure.

We needed a way to replicate our Progress database to our SQL database without impacting our student information system. Prior, we had a lot of different needs to be able to query the production database and when our development or consulting teams tried to do queries, it would impact our student production system. This solution replicated the database to an SQL database that could be queried and not have an impact. That was powerful for us to keep things stable. We needed to proactively monitor our network infrastructure. We tried another network software called SolarWinds but it became very expensive. We were monitoring very little with it and we needed to monitor more. We are a large school district with 60,000 students, 10,000 employees, and around 5,000 pieces of network equipment. We're the 17th largest school district in our state. We wanted to be able to monitor everything within a reasonable price. WhatsUp Gold helps us monitor everything affordably. We've been very happy with it. WhatsUp Gold tracks server resources. If CPU, memory, or disk space is over-utilized, it alerts us immediately via text or email if there is an issue. Overall, we are very satisfied with WhatsUp Gold. We had to transition off our previous Microsoft load balancer. It was not very responsive. We had issues when we had to take down certain virtual web servers. We looked at the hardware and software load balancer. The hardware-based ones were more expensive. We did a POC for two months with Kemp. It seemed simple to use so we bought a subscription. It worked well and the cost is reasonable. We use it for load balancing our student information system and for load balancing our ERP system. It automatically starts monitoring newly discovered devices. If we point at a particular top-level switch or main stacking equipment, it automatically monitors it. We have to make sure that our SNPM information is configured appropriately and it will automatically dive in, see the equipment, and try to bring it in appropriately.

The primary use case is to monitor network devices and servers.

We primarily use the solution for monitoring the network devices.

We are using WhatsUp Gold to provide the NetFlow in the network and we are using NetFlow for the NAC team to track the ups and downs of the remote sites and virtualized maps.

We are using WhatsUp Gold to monitor cyber files and their conditions. We are looking at the thresholds of the hard disk capacity and if it reaches a certain high capacity the solution will notify us through e-mail. We have a network of approximately 1,500 devices and we can have visibility of all our equipment.

We use this solution to monitor our networks. We pull reports based on thresholds and criteria that we set.

We are using it to make sure that devices, services, and network paths are available.

We use it for network discovery. It is just one of the features it provides, but it's basically the only feature we use.

The primary use case is just for monitoring the host servers, the virtual machines, the network equipment, and the storage. It covers all the basics.

We primarily use the solution to check the state of the network. We have thousands of devices to manage and control. We monitor all of the internal network with the solution. It is the first tool we use to see the state of the network for real-time monitoring.

We use WhatsUp Gold for monitoring.

I use it on premises to monitor my network database. We monitor the link up/down and use the SNMP traps as well.

We use WhatsUp gold for network monitoring.

I primarily use this solution for server performance.

We are a distributor for this solution, and our clients use it to monitor network devices and applications. For example, they monitor switches, routers, and Brouters. We provide demonstrations and POCs for this solution to potential customers.

We use WhatsUp Gold primarily for its monitoring survey. We use this product every time because we have a map in our network operating center, with many hundreds of sites. WhatsUp Gold provides a visual state, as well as program alerts by email.

We use this solution for monitoring our network.

Our primary use case is for network and application monitoring.
