The capacity planning was a big help in our company as we grew the number of connected locations. Grow or die is pretty much the business model of today but that growth is only as good as the network it travels on. Being able to recommend appropriate network requirements is a big deal in our line of business.

- 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.

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

SolarWinds does when Observium can do but for a much larger price tag. That is what the decision came down to.

- As I mentioned in a previous statement, the capacity planning was the big thing. In our line of business, speed is everything. Customers hate to be slowed down so having the appropriate network connections is a must.
- Anomaly Detection with the threshold based alerting has made our network team more proactive in stopping things before they can really affect the company.
- Productivity with the use of monitoring conversations and amount of used bandwidth has helped weed out the works versus the campers.
