IBM Netcool Network Management vs. IBM SevOne Network Performance Management

This tool was integrated with Control-M, so whenever we receive any job failure, long-running job, job not started yet, etc, we receive an alert against it. This tool is also integrated with Maximo where we receive the incidents as well for it. Alert's color was as per the criticality of the job and that makes it very easy for an associate to act on it to resolve. We have the SLAs for the jobs as per the urgency of the jobs.

SevOne can be used as an alternative to network fault and performance monitoring. Below are some of the reasons when you can go for SevOne. 1. Network Fault and Performance Monitoring. 2. Network Traffic Analysis 3. MPLS, Internet Bandwidth Monitoring. 4. Alternative to Solarwinds, Microfocus, LogicMonitor 5. Out of the box parameters availability.

• This is one of the best monitoring tools.
• Very simple to user.
• Color code makes it very simple as per severity.
• We receive the heartbeat alert every hour that shows the system is running up and fine.
• We have black, red, yellow, and orange color alerts that show the critical, urgent, major, and minor incidents.

Incentivized

• Out-of-the-box Network Fault and Performance Monitoring
• Netflow data analysis
• Alerting, Reporting
• Integration with ITSM tools

• Sometimes color differences of the incidents as per the criticality .
• We don't receive the heartbeat alerts sometimes.
• If the tool is down and we don't receive the alerts on the console we wait for the heartbeat alert and it makes some extra delay in resolving things.

• Network Configuration Management
• Orchestration
• API Based Monitoring
• SDWAN, SDN networks monitoring

This is one of the essential tools for monitoring. This tool was integrated with Maximo and Control-M in my organization. So whenever any job failed in Control-M, we receive an alert against it in the IBM Netcool/OMNIbus. We receive the alerts in different colors as per the criticality. Black for critical ones(Sev1), red for urgent (Sev2), yellow for major(Sev3), and orange for minor(Sev4). So it makes an easy to operate and act on the alerts as per the severity. This tool is very user-friendly and easy to use. No additional training is required for the tool to operate, just a simple KT is enough.

SevOne from Turbonomic is not as popular in network monitoring space as Solarwinds, MicroFocus, Broadcom etc. However, it is equally effective in monitoring. One unique feature that SevOne has over other software is that its framework is built on the latest technologies which are going to a very edge advantage over other tools in terms of current requirements but future, too.

• Color feature of the alerts as per the criticality is the amazing feature.
• Heartbeat alert is also an unique feature.
• No additional training is required to use this tool. just a simple KT is enough.

• Good Alternative Solution to Solarwinds, microfocus, LogicMonitor
• Complete Network Monitoring solution except Configuration Management
• Capacity Planning is not fully fledged available but still manageable
