Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Pulseway as a remote monitoring solution for systems. This allows me to monitor how my systems are performing and apply system updates or restart the machine if needed, all from my phone. Pulseway is such a nice system that I use it personally in my home to manage my systems as well.

Pros

System status at a glance
Remote windows updates
Remote restart functionality

Cons

Ability to see hardware that is installed in the system
Not all systems will display the same information; I have one system that will not display networking information
Remote-control functionality could be more robust

Likelihood to Recommend

Pulseway is well suited for organizations that need to monitor multiple servers remotely all from your phone or another system. If you are not a business, you can still use Pulseway, but you may want to consider the model that allows for two systems to be monitored for free.

Pulseway: The System Administrator's Best Friend

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Pulseway to monitor a few systems so that I can keep an eye on processes and disk space usage. I'm also sent email alerts when certain apps start. Only the IT department uses Pulseway. Pulseway allows me to keep a watchful eye on my systems from anywhere that my cell phone works. I can kill processes, run commands, install patches, and even communicate with users.

Pros

Pulseway gives you a complete view of your systems, even virtual machines, and hosts in a VMware environment.
It allows me to view the room from the webcam attached to a system.
I can communicate with logged on users in order to troubleshoot problems or warn them of an impending maintenance event.

Cons

I would like to be able to connect to the managed system's console if the app's capabilities still don't meet my needs.
I'd like for it to be easier to configure. Some operating systems, Linux for example, are not that easy to setup for disk space management. Windows and Mac are very easy to setup for it.
I'd like to be able to configure process restarts in case of a failure.

Likelihood to Recommend

Pulseway works for Mac, Linux, and Windows--and works equally well for workstations as well as servers. It is a system administrator's best friend. Some administrators feel that its use in highly secure environments is inappropriate because of the depth and breadth of control one has outside of the restrictive environment.
