Likelihood to Recommend
It is really great for medium sized buiseness to handle and monitor complex network infrastructures.
With IBM SevOne we monitor the network and the DataCenter. We must comply with the new DORA regulations, regarding the visibility of the network, the perimeter of the modern Data Center includes SDDCs such as CISCO ACI and the entire cloud world such as AWS, Google, Azure, etc... We also use the product to retrieve metrics of the network equipment and circuits before carrying out capacity planning activities.
Pros
Netflow analysis
CISCO ACI integration
RHOS Integration
Mainframe Metric Visibility
Analisi Netflow
integrazione CISCO ACI
Integrazione RHOS
Visibilità metriche Mainframe
Cons
whatif analysis
network topology
integration with logging system

With IBM SevOne you have a ready-to-use product to collect network metrics with little effort, same thing for more detailed protocols like Netflow. It is one of the few products that natively supports Mainframe z/os metrics as well as the architectures of modern workload tools like kubernettes, RHOS, dockers. The acquisition of AWS metrics could be improved if the cloud environment is complex and managed with proprietary IAM.

I use IBM SevOne for the [...], to monitor and gather data on [...] routers, switches, virtual hosts, application servers, firewalls, and more.
Pros
Easy, intuitive interface
Slick and modern looking
Fast UI
Granular extensible
Cons
Documentation for the embedded help pages in NMS and more. In my opinion, these do not provide anything of any depth or maybe anything helpful at all. If anything it just seems to be a guide of what actually exists on the page. It is nicely searchable documentation though.
It is very surprising and disappointing for us to learn that it isn't until the latest version of IBM SevOne that bulk editing was introduced. I think this is such a basic and foundational feature that should have been a part of the original rollout. My team is still trying to configure the REST API.
It was disappointing for the webinar to start with a speaker who had a thick accent and simply read from slides. To me, it felt hopeless until the second speaker, who was engaging and easy to understand. It's as if this fact wasn't considered. I'm sure the first speaker lost a lot of viewers who didn't stick around to discover the 2nd speaker.
I asked three different questions during the webinar and none were answered.

It is well suited for creating great visuals and reports utilizing Netflow. It is not clear what things distinguish IBM SevOne DI from other tools utilizing NetFlow such as SolarWinds.

IBM SevOne has been a great tool to utilize to tell a story with the data that is collected and captured. Sure it is easy to just display Dashboards based on the same old data points. With IBM SevOne I get the flexibility to create synthetic indicators, and the ability to display the data in a way the end user can utilize it in the manner they want to. The flexibility with Data Insight, and with Synthetic Indicators and the number of data points that are in the platform I can make some very very custom dashboards, that tell the end user a story around performance of a particular device, site, location, etc.
Now that I have these dashboards in place, and the end user can better understand what is occurring, I can work with that end user to create alarm policies so that someone can react to events, as we know they are indicators for a current/potential outage. To me IBM SevOne is more than just a monitoring tool!.
Pros
Dashboarding
Data Collection
Alarming
Integration into multiple platforms
Cons
Including SNMP walks/get's from Data Insight
Filtering for device creation from Plugins, such as being able to exclude devices via the VMWare Plugin
Likelihood to Recommend
Being able to take data from multiple vendor products, and providing a single pane of glass to display the data and create dashboards.
The ability to take in your own data, and storing it via xstats/deferred data in IBM SevOne so you can overlay that data on the performance data you collected.
Utilizing Data Insight to have a dashboard will tells a story and makes it easy for end users to find issues, occurrences of events, etc.
We use SevOne as one of the potential network components monitoring tools for our customers. We use Sevone for network fault and performance monitoring, netflow analysis, bandwidth monitoring, alerting, reporting and incident management via ticketing systems.
