    Chose Power Admin PA Server Monitor
    We tried some open source solutions. But, they were much more difficult to set up and maintain. PA is easy to use "out of the box". We looked at other paid solutions also, but they were cost prohibitive, since we are a small institution.

    Power Admin PA Server Monitor works great for our needs. We do however wish that it worked for Linux Operating Systems.

    Cons
    Power Admin LLC
    • It does have bulk settings tools to set up bulk settings for multiple devices, but to me it could be a bit easier to use. However, I ran into a snag and reached out to support and they are great.
    • It does not support Linux Operating Systems.

    Return on Investment
    Power Admin LLC
    • It has decreased our critical services downtime, because we are able to VPN in and fix issues as soon as Power Admin alerts us of an issue. ROI has been excellent.
    • It allows us to catch issues before they become critical by alerting us on errors that show up in our Event Logs.
