    Its very good and easy to do custom polling by importing MIB files where we had challenges to do out of box monitoring. Integration is easy.

    • If you are on a budget, this is one heck of a tool for the price (including the ~$200/year for the Pro subscription).
    • If you are OK with maintaining and updating open source tools, this is a great tool.
    • If you are afraid of the Linux command line or live in a Windows-centric world, this might not be the tool for you.
    • If you can't stand things occasionally not working, this is probably not a good fit.

    They are fast responding when you create a support case. But they also have a forum (community) where you can find knowledge-base information that is very useful.

    It's open source. Your mileage may vary. Sometimes the provided documentation is beyond frustrating, other times it's right on the mark.

    Cause of the great gui and easy management can be customized to your liking. The awesome topology maps you can make easy to change make it your own design. Great support. Don't need a large database to run. Can handle multiple users at once with ease. Overall a great product recommend to anyone

    I haven't used other products that are similar to Observium. Observium is an open tool, with a robust feature set. There are elements of comparable monitoring across other tools, but nothing I've seen that is a complete parallel in terms of feature set and visualizations. If I were asked, I wouldn't have another tool to recommend over Observium.
