Considered Both Products
Moogsoft
Chose Moogsoft
Moogsoft has the similar capabilities as of SPLUNK, MuleSoft and ServiceNow however it's a unique product in terms of its internal functioning and application framework. While ServiceNow is a SaaS application Moogsoft on the other side comes with On-Prem as well as SaaS …
Chose Moogsoft
Moogsoft is a very powerful tool and is a strong competitor for Splunk, Service Now, and other Event monitoring tools such as BMC Truesight. It is widely used by GSIs and individual product-based organizations due to fact that it is a scalable and less costly product as …
Chose Moogsoft
I think Moogsoft was one of the first players to hit the market and really have a product that was ready for consumption, however, since then, others have taken the reigns and done a lot more, enabled a lot more, and customized a lot more to fit the use cases more properly and …
Sensu
Chose Sensu
Have used New Relic and Sematext Cloud for APM and for tracking over days and visualizing the issues. But those are very expensive as compared to Sensu.
Chose Sensu
We initially compared Sensu to Nagios XI. Nagios has languished for years and clearly wouldn't scale well without a lot of effort, while Sensu's architecture was clearly designed to be better at scaling horizontally.

Moogsoft is a very good event management tool that not only fulfills the event handling requirement but on top of it does the following: 1. Event Handling from multiple data sources. 2. Scalable solution and includes multi-tenancy 3. Out-of-the-box integrations and customized options are available. 4. AIOps and ML capabilities. 5. Cost optimized solution

Sooner or later, companies are going to figure out that there's more to monitoring than what Nagios can provide. For those that want to dip their toe in the water and still provide backward compatibility with a legacy Nagios environment, Sensu is a good choice. It's mainly for businesses that want more than Nagios but don't want to take the full plunge with something radically different and metric-based such as Prometheus. Having moved to metric-based monitoring so far as I'm able, I can say with confidence that it's far better than what Nagios or Sensu provide.

Sensu's customer support was always willing to work with us but never really seemed to learn much from our experiences. I think they get a lot of customers with DevOps IT teams that are willing to put in a lot of elbow grease to get the most of Sensu's architecture. However, despite explaining my continued disappointment with their documentation and the overall flow of the product, I never got much more than a "sorry" and a notice that their documentation was open source if I wanted to contribute to it. The problem, of course, is that you can't document what you don't understand. I'm a former technical writer, so I know that better than most.
