Likelihood to Recommend	Noction No answers on this topic	Observium 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. Incentivized Derek Dolan Senior System Administrator Read full review

Alternatives Considered	Noction No answers on this topic	Observium 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
