CubeAPM vs. IBM SevOne

most of the needs are covered.

IBM SevOne ensures deep performance and in depth monitoring and allows customization according to specific organisation or business needs. Availability of real-time alerts and unlimited customization. The software integrates freely with many third party applications and has reliable analytics and reporting systems. Ability of the software in automating routine network monitoring tasks which reduces operational costs. Software pricing is a major challenge towards smooth implementation of the software. It is expensive and not affordable to small businesses and organisations.

• Alerting on set matrices
• View graphs for needed matrices of our Application
• with lower cost w.r.t the service we were using previously.

• To see trends in network usage, identify upgrade switches, increase bandwidth and cabling
• Provide dashboards to operations, logistics for both warehouse and production managers
• Can integrate into incident systems to auto create tickets when issues happen

• if posible more details on DB query, Like NR used to give details of even Index used for that slow query. This might make easy to solve slow DB query ( wrong-index issue)

• Documentation for the embedded help pages in NMS and more. In my opinion, these do not provide anything of any depth or maybe anything helpful at all. If anything it just seems to be a guide of what actually exists on the page. It is nicely searchable documentation though.
• It is very surprising and disappointing for us to learn that it isn't until the latest version of IBM SevOne that bulk editing was introduced. I think this is such a basic and foundational feature that should have been a part of the original rollout. My team is still trying to configure the REST API.
• It was disappointing for the webinar to start with a speaker who had a thick accent and simply read from slides. To me, it felt hopeless until the second speaker, who was engaging and easy to understand. It's as if this fact wasn't considered. I'm sure the first speaker lost a lot of viewers who didn't stick around to discover the 2nd speaker.
• I asked three different questions during the webinar and none were answered.

We uses it.

Satisfactory

IBM SevOne was selected instead of Datadog because it is perfect for large insurance networks and also connects trouble-free between the on-premise and cloud environments. Its alerts are in real-time, it offers comprehensive dashboards and it allows to gain a better grip on the network issues, thus helping to keep the downtime small and the operations well managed thanks to the good communication.
