    IBM Watson AIOps is well suited for IT Asset Management tasks due to its insightful dashboard that leads our IT Team to track IT Asset usage/requirements in real-time. We have also enjoyed using the reports provided for IT Asset Management which we provide to our upper management team for predictive budgeting purposes. We found that IBM Watson AIOps is not as well suited for our Application resource automation as the tuning (aggressiveness) is not as tunable as we would like.

    From a packet tracing standpoint, it was easy to setup and analyze an issue we were having with eigrp errors between 2 data centers. Took a few minutes to stand up on both sides and compare the traffic to determine hellos weren't being sent. On the other spectrum, had it had the analytics of such products as Extrahop, it could have recognized and alerted us of an internal DNS attack we had.

    • I use it primarily as a monitoring tool from a security standpoint, so one complaint is that the filter creation process takes a little time to learn.
    • In the digital days of printing less, I do still need to print network diagrams for compliance documentation and some of the larger network diagrams documents do not print easily.
    • I wish the network connection lines were easier to see. They are typically very light and you have to drill down to see them more clearly.

    Can't really rate this, we never had to call support. The product wasn't complicated to setup and learn. We have a high level of network knowledge so the product was self-explanatory.

    IBM Watson AIOps stacks up well with Turbonomic because it basically is Turbonomic. IBM added Turbonomic's feature set into IBM Watson AIOps and we were therefore quite comfortable shifting to the re-branded version introduced by IBM. We do like the fact that IBM Watson AIOps includes the functionality of Turbonomic.

    There is not any other product that does exactly what LiveAction does. Some come about halfway close, like scrutinizer by Plixer. However, there is a gap with that product as it doesn't give proper quality of service recommendations, or to update l2/l3 configs to head off problems. Plixer's scrutinizer product costs about the same. It was a no-brainer to pick LiveAction.
