Rackspace Fabric vs. Serverless360

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.

Serverless360 is a great tool for managing complex Azure serverless environments>it offers comprehensive monitoring,alerting, and automation features that are essential for maintaining the health and performance of our applications.However, for organizations with simpler setups or minimal Azure serverless usage, the advanced capabilities of Serverless360 may not be necessary. Overall it's been a valuable addition to our tool kit

• 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.

Turbo360 (formerly Serverless360) is the best software intelligence tool out there in market saving us time as it is easy to see data instantly. The software provides business and traffic data information helping our organization make scalability decisions.

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.

Metric monitoring in Serverless360 is the best. It eliminates the lengthy process of manually looking through error logs and immediately performs root cause analysis on problems as they arise giving insight into the Azure environment. The team can foresee and fix issues. Our team could safely transfer the less valued support task to the L1 support person and free up the skilled Azure resources to focus on the development of the business.
