    • Well suited for raising pagers when you have count-based metrics.
    • Well suited for threshold-based metrics.
    • Not well suited for tracking events over the day, since graphs and other visualizations are missing.

    If you have a large or complex environment then this tool can be the perfect fit. From many types of OS, database, applications and web sites supported out of the box and powerful customization ability, TrueSight can manage the most complex. If you have a simple or small IT shop then this tool suite may be over-kill and not worth the complexity to set up

    • The interface is functional and adaptable but I kind of wish it looked like its predecessor Patrol Monitor.
    • It is somewhat hard to understand the integrations into the UI.
    • Hoping for more metric choices.

    Sensu's customer support was always willing to work with us but never really seemed to learn much from our experiences. I think they get a lot of customers with DevOps IT teams that are willing to put in a lot of elbow grease to get the most of Sensu's architecture. However, despite explaining my continued disappointment with their documentation and the overall flow of the product, I never got much more than a "sorry" and a notice that their documentation was open source if I wanted to contribute to it. The problem, of course, is that you can't document what you don't understand. I'm a former technical writer, so I know that better than most.

    Have used New Relic and Sematext Cloud for APM and for tracking over days and visualizing the issues. But those are very expensive as compared to Sensu.

    Datadog seems to have more freedom to build dashboards. They have more visualization types. However, Pulse seems to be better from a cost stand point. Pulse is able to accomplish everything we need, so no need to spend the extra cost.

    Return on Investment
    Sumo Logic
    • Standing up the Sensu Go server took very little effort.
    • Setting up and maintaining the build processes and deployment logic for Sensu assets and checks was somewhat exhausting and resulted in lower adoption among non-DevOps IT.
    • The limited web interface resulted in lower adoption among non-DevOps IT.
