OpsNow vs. Rackspace Fabric

We use OpsNow for Multi-Cloud Management (DXC and Azure) Clouds. This is the best scenario because in only one platform you can have all information about your resources such as your environments, Planning, designing, delivering, operating, and managing the cloud represents more than just infrastructure operations, project or service requests and error handling, to manage your Cloud IT from development to operation in its entirety.

I am highly likely to recommend Rackspace Cloud Monitoring to a colleague. This is assuming they have a decent background in working on cloud servers. If you don't mind digging in yourself to solve problems, then this is a great resource. If you are just learning how to set up servers on your own, then I recommend at least hiring someone to help you use the service. With that being said, Rackspace makes it easy for people you may hire to seamlessly work within your account. They get their own separate developer account.

• Immediate email notifications: In case a service is down on our servers, we get immediate email notifications via rackspace cloud monitoring service. This helps us to know about the issues and we get in contact with support team to get it resolved.
• Configuration on specific services: We can configure this monitoring on specific services. So for example if i don't want to get notified if MySQL concurrent users limit reached, then I do not need to configure this monitoring for MySQL. I can just use it whenever needed for defined services.
• Group emails and technical contacts emails: The monitoring service can send email alerts to a number of email addresses. Primarily the ones who are added as a technical contact. It helps all people get notified about any issue.
• Auto ticket management: Rackspace automatically creates a support ticket when a service is down and is notified by their monitoring service.

The general support is very good because is online and also its available during business hours. I think OpsNow doesn't have 10 because support 24/7 isn't available yet. I hope in the near future it will be available.

Azure Monitor: Because we need to have complete control about resource consumption and also know how our systems are running. Aris: Because is very important to have our flows in a single tool. Bubble PPM: It's a good tool because is very easy manage our project with a intuitive UI.

I also used Monitis as a monitoring service for our server. Rackspace'S monitoring sends immediate notifications while Monitis might take a couple minutes to understand if a service is down. Since Rackspace has their monitoring integrated with their support system, it helps us a lot and we don't need to call support all the time.
