IBM Tivoli Monitoring Review
Pros
- The GUI is easy to read.
- The software is fairly easy to configure.
- Almost real-time.
Cons
- The software is not reliable at all.
- Reports errors that are false-negatives.
- Hard to configure alarms/alerts.
- Bulky installation (takes up quite a bit of space).
Return on Investment
- I would not purchase this again.
- Other software monitoring tools have been more reliable and easier to manage.
- Difficult to manage, if you patch the server the software is installed on and have to reboot it, IBM Tivoli Monitoring does not come up clean.
