Why should you choose ManageEngine IT360?

 While talking to one of our prospects a while back, he asked us a question “Why should I choose ManageEngine IT360?” After all, he had already invested in some solution which delivered some, if not all answers. What was the necessity to go for IT360?

And it got me thinking. Why does the user need IT360? The best possible analogy I could come up with was this. ManageEngine IT360 is to IT infrastructure monitoring as Lamborghini Reventón is to supercar. Let me explain.

Since the dawn of civilization, mankind has always been fascinated by speed. With the invention of wheel and the internal combustion engine, man found ways and means to come up with some exciting supercars to satisfy the thirst for speed. In this quest, several automotive car companies have tried and developed supercars which exceed speed of 250+ mph. One company called Lamborghini succeeded in developing some of those exciting supercars of today. They include Gallardo, Countach, Diablo, Murciélago and Reventón.

The latest edition of Lamborghini – Reventón – was developed and launched in 2008-09. It is a 2-door-coupe, mid-engine, four wheel drive with a 6 speed gear change. Its 6.5 V12 engine develops a whooping 600+ brake horse power (bhp). It is not only one of the fastest cars in the world, but also the most stylish looking car. Its arrow-head design copied from the fighter jets allow it to cut across the air smoothly allowing less drag which helps maintain incredible stability even at extreme high speeds and cutting corners. It has two in-built hidden pop-up bars which deploy within hundredths of a second even at a whiff of a roll over, preventing critical injuries to the person sitting inside the car. In short, this is an engineering master-piece.

When someone can afford 1.6 million U.S. dollars, they don’t buy a Ford Fiesta or Fiat Punto. They buy a supercar, more specifically a Lamborghini Reventón. Why? Simply because they can (obviously) but more importantly it is one of the fastest, good looking supercar there is.

So what makes me say that IT360 is equal to a Lambo? Here are some hard facts;

Fact 1: 0 to 60 mph – 3.3 seconds flat. After downloading, IT360 is up and running within 60 minutes.

Fact 5: It cost roughly $1.6 million USD. Sorry to disappoint you all; IT360 costs only a fraction of what Lambo costs! – starts at $4995!

IT360’s browser-based console environment and easy-to-use interface allows even the Joe the (server) plumber guy, to understand its functionalities easily and start work with them. Reventón is very smooth and fast even during corners. IT360 is also smooth and very fast. Since IT360 was released last September, many evaluators have told us that they like the way each product is integrated and how “it just works“. Since we do not have any complex modules as a result of acquired portfolios, ManageEngine IT360 does not need any further investment to make the solution work seamlessly.

Like the 6.5 V12 Reventón engine which delivers 600+ bhp, with a top speed of 220 mph. IT360 delivers information instantaneously with enough information for you to act upon. It immediately alerts of any performance issue which may cause degradation of your business service. Its root cause engine delivers vital intelligence to the cause of the issue – how it occurred, when it occurred and which systems are being affected.

The only difference I find between Lamborghini Reventón and ManageEngine IT360 is that it delivers the same type of performance like the supercar but at a fraction of cost! 

IT360 comes at the right cost of what others are willing to offer because of a simple reason. We have been working on this product for several years tweaking and tuning and making sure it works the way it is supposed to – just like they do when Lambo develops a supercar.

IT360 also delivers a similar sense of relief, knowing that you will get answers to all of your questions. The additional plus point is that you would be a lot richer for not spending too much money on different solutions which work in different ways.

To sum it up, by choosing to go with IT360, you are choosing to make your life easier, exciting and making you the talk of IT Team in your organization! So why not give IT360 a test drive today and feel a new excitement in monitoring your critical IT resources?
