HP OpenView (Discontinued) vs. IBM Cloud Monitoring

HP Openview really helped us when we migrated our old SAP Data from IBM Platform to OpenText.

Incentivized

It is well suited for our use case, which is tracking load balancer data. We would also like to explore tracking other cloud resources, such as web and database servers

• SAP Batch Job monitoring.
• File Systems
• Database Montioring

Incentivized

• Versatility. It can track more than just the load balancer data we collect.
• Custom dashboards can be created for our particular use cases

• Monitoring interface should be more user friendly.

Incentivized

• It's versatility is also a weakness because it requires piecing together data sources. Would be nice if there a gallery of pre-built dashboards to choose from.
• Data sources aren't clearly labeled. Took some time to identify and isolate our load balancer data sources when creating dashboards.

User friendly, easy to access and more detailed info during the monitoring.

Incentivized

• Biggest support in maintaining 10,000 Linux servers.

Incentivized

• Allows us to monitor our resources at IBM instead of having to rely entirely on third party monitoring tools
