CenturyLink Cloud Application Manager vs Site24x7 All-in-One Monitoring

Likelihood to Recommend

It was very good to use in small scale projects. Considering the high end projects with many instances and multi-platform architectures, it is better to test before the application is deployed. I think few of the questions can be general - who are the system users and what size is the application focussing on? How much resources are required? Will the application require any additional services?

Cons

Though it is good and easy for developers, it lacks operational activities and monitoring tools.
It is easy to deploy WAR on AppFog with its console but sometimes it can lack on the performance and feasibility.

I have only had to use support once, so I can't go into much detail about their support team. The one time I did use it the response was fast but the resolution took some time.

Alternatives Considered

Primarily because it used to have a good free tier earlier, which it does not anymore. It's simple, and things are available to use. Compared to it's competitors, it does has less features, but that kind of acts in its favor. That adds to the simplicity, and ease of use for a new user.

The biggest difference between Site24x7 and products like PRTG, Nagios, or Icinga, is that Site24x7 is hosted off the network, completely externally. The others do a great job on network alerts-- and some can even be configured to send SMS or phone calls with the right equipment and plugins-- but they usually reside in the network or at least on-site. Hosting them in the cloud might be a way around that, in which case they would be pretty similar to Site24x7 in capability, but without the additional software costs in the case of Nagios and Icinga (both open source).

Cost savings have been substantial at approximately 70%.
We do suffer delayed email notifications and regular locational failures from 24x7. However, this is easily overcome by extra locational checks.
Much quicker responses from out of hours teams with the benefit of the mobile app, which is user-friendly.
