    Compuware Strobe is very essential if you are working in a multi-system environment to constantly measure the activity of your applications. My setup involves deploying bots to perform repetitive tasks. With Compuware Strobe, I'm able to conduct early tests on codes that reduce by great margins performance issues on the development cycle; It's why I'm making a good recommendation for it.

    With the introduction of API-based event alerts, there is no need for a proxy, which is a good option. Its ability to manage infra on a real-time basis is a good option that helps monitor, administer and troubleshoot virtual machines.

    It has a good GUI to monitor real-time logs for cloud applications. This is quite a useful tool and preferred over most of the competitive applications in the market.

    The support is pretty good however some of the KB articles still reference different versions of the product so it can be hard to find answers to common questions

    SCOM was quite overwhelming when we first set up a POC for it. There was just too much for one person to handle. With vROPs I can manage the product and provide the support needed for my environment. We also have a Solarwinds environment that provides us with a level of detail and alerting we have come to rely upon. vROPS takes it to another level because it links directly into vCenter to provide you with a complete picture of your virtual environment.

    • We believe that the ability to preplan deployments with vRealize has proven its return on investments.
    • Our troubleshooting time has been reduced with vrealize because its constantly collecting performance data. typically vrealize will tell us cause of fault before we can determine it ourselves.
