User Testimonials
	Observium	SteelHead
Likelihood to Recommend	Observium If you are on a budget, this is one heck of a tool for the price (including the ~$200/year for the Pro subscription). If you are OK with maintaining and updating open source tools, this is a great tool. If you are afraid of the Linux command line or live in a Windows-centric world, this might not be the tool for you. If you can't stand things occasionally not working, this is probably not a good fit.

Support Rating	Observium It's open source. Your mileage may vary. Sometimes the provided documentation is beyond frustrating, other times it's right on the mark. Incentivized Derek Dolan Senior System Administrator Read full review	Riverbed Technologies No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Observium I haven't used other products that are similar to Observium. Observium is an open tool, with a robust feature set. There are elements of comparable monitoring across other tools, but nothing I've seen that is a complete parallel in terms of feature set and visualizations. If I were asked, I wouldn't have another tool to recommend over Observium. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Riverbed Technologies No answers on this topic
