AIOps Features
Comparison of AIOps Features features of Product A and Product B
Critical to use if you have any NetApp clusters in your environment. Use it to identify problems you might not otherwise know about. Also can be useful to generate upgrade reports in advance so you know about any special cases.
For mid-market and larger, HCO provides a highly available single pane of glass. The user and group management provides a granular ability to deploy to the various areas of the support and engineering teams. Integration to ITSM platforms ensures that information from the platform flows in real time to the right people.
Please fix the time zones issue. Events are in UTC, Charts in the user's Local Time, Alerts come in through with Main Server timestamp - it's all over the place & it's been like that for so long. We are a large corp, the teams span time zones and trying to work with teams across the globe is made so difficult by this.
The inability to ingest the tags from AWS Cloud watch and the countless posts / feature requests on thwack complaining about this that just get ignored. It's such a basic feature of Cloud & I don't want to have to own a different product to use such an fundamental part of cloud.
Maintenance Windows - why can we not set a reoccurring window from the web ui in 2022?
SAM - Manage applications, why is there no search bar to filter through applications. When you scale out to enterprise size this is so annoying trying to guess which page to land on to find the application / device I'm looking for.
Half baked features being released - Log Analyzer shipped with no resources for the node details page. The Free version from 2016 had more available in it.
Despite some interface issues, it mostly accomplishes what we need it to accomplish - give us a heads up on problems in our environment and prepare us for upgrades/patches.
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!
Solarwinds has the best overlap of the two others I've mentioned - the other two tools (Datadog and Dynatrace) are great in their own way but Solarwinds is just good at everything; if I had to pick one tool of the above, it would be Solarwinds for the compatibility and ease of use, the other tools are more focused on being great at certain things while Solarwinds is the jack of all trades.
For a small but focused operation like ours, NetApp Active IQ acts like an additional full-time team member in our environment. This has been a game-changer, as my team doesn't have the time to constantly monitor every piece of our infrastructure. By using NetApp Active IQ, we are able to deploy reliable, redundant solutions and it keeps us proactively informed each and every day.
NetApp Active IQ's predictive analytics have been instrumental in identifying potential problems and misconfigurations before they can cause an outage. In a 911 environment where service availability is non-negotiable, this is an immeasurable ROI.
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.
Ultimately, the partnership with NetApp and the use of NetApp Active IQ has provided the stability and insight we demand, enabling my team to focus on our core mission of providing critical emergency services to our community.
