Jeff’s free feedback grabs a bunch

Though it is an old post, it is blog worthy. I take this opportunity to thank Jeff for his genuine feedback . What really interests me is to see more customers share a similar feedback on the ease of use.

….I needed a quick, and preferably easy one to set up…..It grabs a bunch of the normal statistics but where I found it most useful was the alarms and notifications…. I am liking it way better than WebCacti!

I In most cases, what Jeff has explained holds good. It is not feasible for admins to spare a huge amount of time to build what they want, especially when they have limited resources.

I happened to speak to few of our customers who have used traditional script based monitoring tools before choosing OpManager. Their concerns were similar to what Jeff has stated above. In addition, there was another common concern, i.e. customers felt the technical knowledge inheritance as the biggest barriers of all. That is, when a new heir or a less experienced IT professional joins the team, it took them more time to train them with the complex scripts they already created . More than concentrating on their new role or activities, they were held responsible to modify or correct the scripts they had created.


So, all they need is an easy to deploy   network monitoring software that works out-of-the-box.

OpManager’s bundled web-server and database, lets one quickly deploy the product for production. Further the automatic network discovery and wide collection of monitoring templates helps admins to start monitoring their devices in a minute.

I know what you will ask next!

There is a Free Edition as well and as the name say, it never expires. It just has a cap on number of devices (10 devices) and number of users (1 user). Apart from that all other features available in Professional Edition are made available in Free Edition too. For more information on what’s included in Professional Edition, please refer to our edition comparison page.

Once again, thanks to Jeff for pointing out this.
