User Testimonials
	Constellix	OpenNMS Meridian
Likelihood to Recommend	Constellix Constellix DNS is well suited for people already familiar with DNS Made Easy but want more features. Constellix is especially good for people who need ANAME records Incentivized John Reeve Co-founder, Lead developer, Lead designer Read full review	The OpenNMS Group I would recommend all system administrators use some form of network monitoring if they are not already doing so, and I'd definitely recommend people consider OpenNMS if they're shopping around. Small businesses will benefit from the low-cost of entry (it's free!), whilst getting all the enterprise features. Larger businesses can benefit from paid support plans. However, there's no getting around the fact that you will require some advanced networking and sysadmin knowledge to get the most out of OpenNMS, or at least, be prepared for a steep learning curve. If you don't have the resources to devote this time initially, you may struggle. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Constellix Resiliency, they claim to have very little downtime and so far we haven't experienced any ANAME Records, we haven't experienced any issues as IP addresses behind the target CNAME records have changed. Incentivized John Reeve Co-founder, Lead developer, Lead designer Read full review	The OpenNMS Group Report on SLA Group network areas Discovery of elements Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Constellix Nothing I would change. The admin interface is straightforward and easy to use. Incentivized John Reeve Co-founder, Lead developer, Lead designer Read full review	The OpenNMS Group We've had a few issues with delayed alerting. I haven't quite figured out how to make topologies work yet, but I haven't spent a ton of time on it either. We've also had a bit of trouble importing some MIBs, but that usually boiled down to working with the vendor to make sure we had the right MIBs and dependencies.

Alternatives Considered	Constellix No answers on this topic	The OpenNMS Group OpenNMS's more attractive GUI and its price break were the main reasons our company chose to explore and use this product. However, it never managed to actually replace Nagios which had a much more established hold within the company. Perhaps we were over-monitoring, but our company claimed a $100k loss per hour of downtime. Incentivized Derrick Barnsdale System Administrator Read full review
Return on Investment	Constellix It has made our DNS easier to manage It has lowered our DNS bills Incentivized John Reeve Co-founder, Lead developer, Lead designer Read full review	The OpenNMS Group Initial adoption required quite a lot of resources and time to get everything right. Totally worth it for us; just be prepared for a gradual process that will get better and better with time. Once setup and running smoothly, it provides us with all the reporting we could hope for, at near zero cost. With OpenNMS, we're able to offer a much more reliable service to our customers, and spend a lot less time dealing with issues. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
