    • 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.

    Pros
    IBM
    • Immediate recognition of possible conflicting interests within a field of view.
    • Ability to assist users with Research and Development at an extraordinary rate.
    • Real-Time feedback via neural pathways to analyze data and implement independent solutions that are tailored to the specific applications on-site.
    • This entire review was written with the assistance of IRIS technology as a demonstrative of it's very real practical application. This took less than 2 minutes to write using my own hands.

    Cons
    IBM
    • Suggestion 1) "RE:View" functionality.
    • Suggestion 2) "ION = EYE-ON" in Language processing.
    • Suggestion 3) Biological GUI+GPU integration.
    • Suggestion 4) Ability to "RE:Quest" IRIS Up-link/Down-link interaction. (Inter-Act w/(EYE-ON))

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

    Secure work environment with this platform has enhanced effective workflow infrastructure. The cost of deployment and configuration capabilities with other security applications lead to main decision of acquiring this tool. The security control dashboards gives reliable performance reports that leads to quick decision-making when there are malware attacks. It gives lifecycle report for most work processes and threat intelligence information that enables my team to track workloads effectively.

    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.
