In Search of a Suitable Monitoring Solution
The Building Company required a solution that proactively monitored its business-critical network services. The company faced severe network downtime, resulting in a loss of productivity, and poor user satisfaction. It was also taking too much time to troubleshoot network issues. The network admins found it hard to diagnose and resolve issues efficiently. As Fritz, a member of the IT team, stated:
“We had no monitoring system and relied on users to report down devices or network outages. We then would report this to the vendor.”
The OpManager Intervention
Following the easy installation and setup, the company gains real-time metrics of its network performance with ManageEngine OpManager. A key solution that OpManager provides is device availability monitoring. The Building Company also gains critical insights about its network by monitoring key performance metrics such as CPU, memory, and disk utilization.
“We have a holistic view of the network and can monitor everything without vendor assistance. We have reported issues before users are made aware. The product offers great proactive monitoring and high SLA monitoring, which is vital for our business.”
