ServiceNow's IT Operations Management (ITOM) includes
features such as discovery, service mapping, event management, automation, and
a user interface designed to be navigable. Users can bookmark important areas
for quick access. Provides very good visibility of assets. The UI is little
difficult but once got used to is very good to use.

You can see the list of tools above; NetApp Active IQ is a compliment to the tools. Not one monitor will take care of all your needs. I am ok with 3 dashboards for my environment. SolarWinds rotates in NOC mode, NetApp Active IQ is up on its own with all the NetApp's registered, and the Palo Alto Dashboard which monitors for vulnerabilities and risks. The tools work hand in hand in the environment, working both North/South and East/West, letting us know about anomalies, risks, and pending tasks to schedule. I love ALL my tools working together; lets me sleep really well at night!

BMC was our legacy system before deploying ServiceNow. It's time had passed for us as it couldn't really keep up with our move to cloud and the number of services we were using. The cost kept getting higher, especially with all of the customization we had to do. Over the years, just got unwieldy. We still use Splunk for raw data and log analysis, but we upgraded to ServiceNow event management and the Loom system log analytics. We had Loom before ServiceNow bought them, but it's nice it's all on one platform for us. Splunk at times had so much info, we didn't know where to start, but ServiceNow gives us a great starting point.

  • NetApp Active IQ automates many of the routine monitoring and health checks that would otherwise consume a significant amount of my team's time. This has allowed us to shift our focus from reactive troubleshooting to strategic planning and project execution, aligning with our long-term vision.
  • The insights provided by NetApp Active IQ, such as capacity utilization and performance limits, have helped us make smarter decisions about technology refreshes and resource allocation, ensuring we get the best "bang for our buck" from our infrastructure.
