This is our main crash detection tool. It also helps to predict an upcoming failure.
It is used by almost all engineers in my organization.
  • Monitoring from several locations
  • Fast notification
  • Push notifications, SMS and calling
  • Simplifying the interface
  • Simplification of the process, e.g. notifications to Slack
  • Dark mode for panel and dashboard
  • Push notification - should contain more detailed information
  • A nicer looking dashboard
It is great for monitoring internet connections. The agent installed on Windows works efficiently and takes up little resources.
The method of settling costs is not very clear. There should also be a table with the current list of costs visible.
  • Slack integration
  • Ping monitoring
  • Websites monitoring
  • SMS notifications
  • Provides high availability of services
Panopta management from the cloud (remote panel). Easy work on installation. To monitor servers, it is enough for the server to have contact only with the Internet. Multiple channels for sending notifications.
