What is Evanios?

A key component of the Event Management process is consolidation of events from across the enterprise. By consolidating disparate events into a single solution, they can be de-duplicated and correlated. For example, network failure events can be correlated with system failures, and then prioritized based on service impact.

As with any new software implementation, during the integration we found a couple of minor issues when integrating certain products (such as SCOM). However, each time this happened Evanios was very quick to identify the bug we were seeing, patch it and provide the new update set for us to install. Also, during the evaluation of Evanios we found that they already had integrations with most of our larger monitoring tools, however they also stated that they would be able to create update sets to integrate certain products we used that they did not currently support. This proved to be very valuable for us because they were able to become an even better fit for our organization by creating update sets\integrations for PRTG, Quest Foglight, TIBCO and Thousand Eyes as well.

The price could be cheaper. That was one reason why we switched to PagerDuty. We wanted to switch to something that provided the same features but at a lower cost. We also switched because PagerDuty provided other features like integration with ServiceNow and the scheduling of engineers. Evanios was only for event integration. Evanios created too much noise. For every alert, it would create an incident. We received too many alerts and incidents from monitoring. It wasn't able to intelligently ingest alerts. It created 4,000 incident tickets in a month, which didn't reflect what was happening. If we received an alert, the synthetic monitoring and volume drop would give us the same alert. Evanios should include alert ingestion and de-duplication of alerts and noise reduction. We couldn't have people resolving each and every incident. PagerDuty gives us reports on how many alerts are being ingested, how many are noise, how many have bigger incidents, and which of the alerts are creating noise. It would be helpful if Evanios had metrics on the amount of alerts and types of the alerts to show which ones were serious incidents and which ones were just noise.

Sr Architect at a media company with 10,001+ employees

Evanios has helped us reduce our incident count by about 60% in just three months into implementation. We are seeing great ROI right from the first month. Our Ops were processing about 5000 alerts a day and now with Evanios its in a few hundreds. Also we have seen a dramatic reduction in MTTR for incidents as we are able to present all the related alerts and paint the entire picture of the reason for the outage in minutes as opposed to hours and sometimes days previously. It has helped us get all our engineering and ops teams on a common platform where they can collaborate well and that has helped boost the teams morale a lot. The automated RCA is a game changer. Evanios had made Alert fatigue and swivel chair syndrome a thing of the past for our Ops teams and they couldn't be happier.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Oct 9, 2024

Valuable Features

Evanios offers comprehensive rule logic, simplifying event processing through various rule types like Transform, Dedupe, and Trigger Incident. Integration ease with ServiceNow and other systems like Splunk and Grafana is highlighted. Users value the built-in rules engine for customizing business logic and event manipulation. The system's robust agent architecture and live rule modification further enhance its appeal. Flexibility and reliable support from Evanios are appreciated by many users.

"The most valuable feature is the integration with various alert-generating systems because you might have synthetic alerts or monitoring alerts for volume drops."
"The ability to manipulate events via JavaScript getting the exact data that we want."
"Provided up to a 90% noise reduction in some our noisy monitoring tools."

Room for Improvement

Evanios could enhance domain separation features and provide clearer instructions for alert notifications. Users noted issues with alert noise and incidents and seek improved alert ingestion and de-duplication. More metrics on alert types and severity are desired. Evanios is praised for quick resolution of integration bugs and customization of integrations but could benefit from improved ROI and correlation reports, as well as cost reductions. Enhanced correlation rules and flexibility in event processing would be beneficial.

"The price could be cheaper."
"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."

ROI

Evanios significantly improved visibility and event tracking, leading to better correlation and impact assessment. IT maintenance and support hours decreased dramatically, enhancing communication due to the switch from SNMP-only systems. They integrated more systems, resulting in less downtime and fewer missed events, providing reliability. A noise reduction of up to 90% was achieved in monitoring tools. The return on investment exceeded 100%, demonstrating considerable financial benefits.

Service and Support

Evanios customer service and technical support are exceptional, with quick response times and a high level of technical understanding. Customers highlight the responsiveness and knowledge of the support staff, mentioning that issues are quickly identified and resolved. Service is praised for being very responsive and providing fast assistance, with friendly and easy-to-work-with staff who understand requirements efficiently. Evanios distinguishes itself by offering thorough and effective assistance, making them highly recommended by many users.

Deployment

Users found Evanios's initial setup straightforward, especially with the right team members, like a Monitoring tool SME and ITSM tool SME. Many valued its numerous integration points, following Evanios guidance to easily incorporate various systems. Large integrations were manageable, focusing on individual events when necessary. With support from Evanios implementation team, users reported a painless configuration process. Integrating additional alerts later was seamless, even for those not initially involved.

Scalability

Evanios is reported as highly scalable with no experiences of scalability challenges. Users appreciate configurable features like rule and filter creation, allowing flexible adaptation to various scopes. Although one monitoring bottleneck was found, general consensus indicates Evanios effectively supports large-scale implementations. Users value its ability to perform efficiently across multiple systems, catering to both broad and specific requirements. Scalability features are viewed favorably, ensuring reliable and extensive performance across different demands.

Stability

Users express satisfaction with the stability of Evanios. They report no stability issues and highlight improved steadiness compared to previous platforms. Some note Evanios as significantly more stable, being a key reason for their switch. They affirm no problems since implementation, emphasizing consistency and reliability over the past year, without any hindrances affecting operations.
