Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were using ObserveIT across IT and in IT-related departments. It was purchased to provide more detailed logs to be used in SIEM and provide evidence by taking screen captures of users' activities when a problem occurs.

Pros

Takes screen captures of user's activities to understand suspicious activities better.
User friendly management interface makes it better.
Ease of upgrading all of the related servers and its agent.

Cons

You need to make a better optimization work on its database servers. It may cause problems working itself properly.
After upgrading its agents, it may give some false positive alerts like "Agent not reporting" while it reporting.
Archiving technology must be improved. When you restart that appliance, it needs more tuning on it to make it right.

Likelihood to Recommend

Especially if you are working in the banking area, IT workers must use ObserveIT to provide more detailed evidence to audits.
You don't need to give a firewall permission to a client, you can easily do it by giving permissions to the ObserveIT server. By doing this, you will be able to understand why he/she needs this permission without asking.
