10ZiG Technology vs Foglight

Likelihood to Recommend

10Zig is well suited anywhere you would need multiple computer access within the same business without having PCs set up at each station. This is not just well suited for a business but for places like schools hospitals, etc. The virtual system replaces PCs which may have other features a user might want such as a disk drive.

Strengths [Foglight]

Monitoring, Alerting and Management of on-prem virtualization and physical servers
Historical trending and baselining are excellent and being able to compare a problem period against the same sets of data for a period when there was no issue is especially helpful as part of troubleshooting.
Ease of use for end users is appreciated

Weaknesses [of Foglight]

Creation and management of custom monitors is a developer level activity requiring Groovy skillset
Less useful for management of an environment where there is a large amount of custom implementations
Commitment to longevity of cartridges/packs for specific subsystems
Ability to create custom schedules/alerts/escalations is only available via a 3rd party product (from a former Quest developer) and is not particularly easy to manage/manipulate
Lack of API accessibility for external integrations to other analytics (splunk, etc.)

Foglight NMS is very light on resources given the amount of monitoring connectivity options it provides. It is one of the few that I've trialed in the past that offers SNMP v3 connections.
The dashboard is concise with the main areas of interest. It can be customized as well if you have a particular use case.
Setting up alerts is straightforward with the ability to set custom thresholds. Alert emails get sent by configuring a primary mail server with the option to add a backup mail server in the event of a primary mail server outage or connectivity issues.

Alternatives Considered

The VMware has more issues as far as crashing due to overuse and other seemingly unknown issues. There is a lot more stability with the 10Zig. The Dell was slower as well as being less user-friendly and much harder to set up, use and upgrade. 10ZiG has had a lot fewer glitches thane either of the others I have tried.
