Observium vs. Selector Analytics

• 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.

Selector Analytics has proven very useful for our SRE and DevOps teams. It addresses our concern of being able to monitor network health and gives good analytics for our needs. It also helps with problem identification quickly so that we can resolve any potential issues. Getting an idea of network health allows us to identify potential problems beforehand, and we can take measures to fix them.

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

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.
