Overall Satisfaction with Zenoss

We use Zenoss for monitoring our server infrastructure, with specific configurations of monitoring and alerts for our team. There are a number of times where the company's "standard" monitoring solution isn't configurable to the level we would like, and so we implemented our own solution using Zenoss for our specific set of requirements.
  • Monitoring of infrastructure.
  • Easily configurable.
  • Expandable to reach all of our various network segments.
  • Compact, with small resource footprint.
  • Improved visualizations of monitoring data.
  • Better integration with other platforms for observability and visualization outside of Zenoss.
  • Better application performance monitoring.
  • Ease of deployment
  • Expandability
  • Integration with other tools
  • Our ROI was excellent, but the company has also implemented other tools that compete with Zenoss.
  • Zenoss has a long history of excellence in monitoring and alerting
  • Overall observability is easier to manage due to our comfort with the tool set
We selected Zenoss because we had been using it for years before these other solutions were considered nearly robust enough to potentially be a viable alternative to Zenoss. Our familiarity with the interface and the tool set made it an easy choice for us to continue to upgrade and use the product.

Would you buy Zenoss again?

Overall I would say that we have been very happy with Zenoss. It has been a great server monitoring tool. There are certain aspects that we would like to expand into, such as Capacity Planning, Network Performance Monitoring, and log analysis. We have coupled Zenoss logs with Splunk for external log management, but would like to start using some of the built-in analysis tools.
