  • 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.

When you start deploying dell servers that caters VMWares, [OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter] is very useful, aside from your main monitoring system, this platforms does the job well. [Its] centralized management of VMWare devices including dell switches, dell storage such as SAN. By this you can group devices or set of devices per branches so you can monitor outages, down time of a device.

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.

I'm not sure any other product can interact and update Dell hardware firmware other than this one. I think it should be free if you own Dell hardware, but the cost is minimal.
