Server Management Software

Functionally, there isn't really anything to not like. My only knock would be cost. It is a bit expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is allowing my department to consolidate day to day monitoring and inventory functions into an online platform (as opposed to using multiple individual spreadsheets). We now have clear and referenceable project/ticketing data to be used by technicians to solve problems quicker in the future. We've gained the ability to develop Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) which are critical in determining our IT efficiency. We also have used the platform to automate software management policies and scripting. We've simplified our problem reporting for our end users by linking our helpdesk organization email to the ticketing platform whereas now if an email is sent it automatically opens a ticket. We've also automated telecom outage reporting with connections to monitor our Wide Area Network (WAN). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's no dark mode in the UI, what is very bad for a developer audience haha. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The current two-factor authentication (2FA) in Better Stack only supports Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) methods, which are susceptible to phishing attacks. I believe that including support for WebAuthn methods, such as YubiKey or other physical keys, would enhance security significantly. This would be particularly important for security-focused individuals, although it is not critical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Better Stack to independently monitor my self-hosted services. It provides instant notifications when issues arise, helping me respond swiftly. The clear UI simplifies configuration without extensive documentation, and the status pages keep me informed about service statuses efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While I really like New Relic, there are a few things that can be frustrating at times. First, it can get expensive, especially as you scale up and start monitoring more hosts, containers, or services. The pricing model isn’t always predictable, and sometimes small changes in usage can lead to higher bills than expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it’s really hard to know where bottlenecks or errors are happening. New Relic solves this by giving a single pane of glass to monitor applications, servers, databases, and even user experience in real-time.Another problem it addresses is proactive monitoring.This has helped us improve reliability, reduce downtime, and ensure a smoother experience for our customers.

Atera does not assist with managing Cloud SaaS workloads or end-user licensing, which happens to be a key area of expertise for us as an MSP. However, Altera is integral in providing reports and compliance verification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Altera serves as a game enabler by automating many of the time-consuming, low-level support tasks. This allows us to dedicate more attention to higher-value customer services and project-based work. As a result, customer satisfaction increases, and customer support becomes a profitable aspect of our operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the website will just not load, and I have to wait quite a few times. Also, Metric Explorer sometimes crashes if it has a tad bit more data to share. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Coralogix for monitoring logs, alerting, and tracing, enhancing developer work and on-call team efficiency. It also optimizes costs with the TCO optimizer and integrates seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Datadog is extremely powerful, it can become difficult to control and predict costs in large or rapidly changing environments, particularly when ingesting high volumes of logs, metrics, and traces. Without strong governance and regular tuning, usage can grow quickly and lead to unexpected spend.

In addition, the breadth of features can sometimes feel overwhelming. Teams need time and clear ownership to configure dashboards, alerts, and monitors properly; otherwise, there is a risk of noise, alert fatigue, or under-utilisation of the platform’s capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Datadog helps us centralise logs and monitor our Java applications and APIs, and provides APM (Application Performance Monitoring) to quickly detect performance issues and troubleshoot incidents or bottlenecks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s a lot of information packed into the dashboards, and it takes a while to get comfortable with where everything is and what each view actually means Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Instead of manually digging through logs or bouncing between different tools, it ties everything together and points me toward the actual root cause. That alone saves a ton of time during incidents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the offline agent issues in ManageEngine Endpoint Central. Sometimes laptops appear to be offline, requiring a manual reboot to appear online. This is inconvenient and disrupts smooth operations, as the devices can't be managed remotely without intervention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use ManageEngine Endpoint Central for streamlined OS deployment, easy remote access, and security features, enhancing our control over computers and inventory. Group policy configuration and software deployment are efficient, with an intuitive setup process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I cannot complain about AppSignal, possibly the problem is with us that we still need to add more integrations, for example with error reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance monitoring and log analysys Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t have any major complaints, but one aspect that could use improvement is the internal documentation and the number of manual steps involved in workflows. If there were more structure and clearer guidance in these areas, I believe productivity could be enhanced even more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Last9 is solving the problem of unreliable, difficult-to-understand systems in modern distributed architectures. As applications grow more complex, it becomes harder to maintain uptime, identify the root cause of failures, and ensure that services meet reliability goals. Last9 addresses this by providing structured SLO (Service Level Objective) management, real-time observability, and automated insights into system performance.

For me, this has been extremely beneficial because it helps me:

Detect issues early before they become customer-impacting incidents.

Reduce time spent on debugging, since Last9 surfaces the exact services or dependencies causing reliability risks.

Track reliability in a measurable way through SLOs instead of relying on subjective judgments.

Focus my efforts on what truly matters, thanks to clear error budgets and actionable alerts.

Deliver more stable releases, ensuring better user experience and fewer production escalations.

Overall, Last9 helps turn reliability from a reactive activity into a proactive, data-driven process — which boosts my efficiency and confidence in managing high-scale systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the things I dislike about Tines is that when working with run script events, I really miss having a more advanced integrated development environment (IDE). I understand that Tines is not intended to function as a traditional development tool, but having a more robust script editor would be very helpful when building more complex workflows. Features like autocomplete, more advanced syntax highlighting, or better error handling could significantly enhance the experience of writing and debugging code directly within the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tines helps us solve the challenge of integrating various tools and platforms into one seamless workflow. We use Tines to connect our messaging platform with other tools, allowing us to centralize communications and actions. For example, we can create comments in external tools directly from our messaging platform, ensuring that everything stays in one place. Additionally, we automate task creation for our teams, assigning tasks through Tines by simply filling out a form. One of the biggest benefits is the ability to generate PDF reports from our tools automatically, eliminating the need for manual report creation.

Tines has also enabled us to integrate and automate workflows between tools that don't have native integrations. This flexibility has significantly improved our efficiency across multiple areas of our work, allowing us to streamline processes, reduce manual tasks, and improve overall productivity.

With Netdata, I have centralized monitoring without relying on my own infrastructure. It greatly facilitates monitoring because I no longer depend on my own server being online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found anything to dislike about Dash0 so far. Any minor issues I have are already planned to be addressed in the upcoming roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dash0 has enabled us to centralize observability across our services, removing the hassle of juggling multiple tools. With its unified dashboard for metrics, traces, and logs, identifying and resolving performance issues has become much more straightforward and efficient. Since adopting Dash0, our mean time to resolution (MTTR) has decreased, and both our engineering and product teams now benefit from enhanced visibility. The platform also removes the need to manually piece together data from Prometheus, Grafana, and other sources—everything is seamlessly integrated, responsive, and actionable in a single location. This has led to quicker debugging, deeper insights, and greater confidence in our deployments across all environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One aspect I find less appealing about SquaredUp is that setting up new data integrations or creating custom visualizations can occasionally take longer than anticipated, particularly when working with more uncommon data sources. Additionally, there is a noticeable learning curve at the beginning as you try to understand how to fully utilize all the available features. However, once everything is configured, the platform performs very well. It just requires some patience to get things set up exactly as you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SquaredUp has helped address the challenge of scattered and siloed data. Previously, I had to switch between several different tools just to get a comprehensive view of system health and performance. Now, with everything consolidated into a single platform featuring clear, real-time dashboards, my data visibility has greatly improved. I can identify issues more quickly, recognize trends with greater ease, and share insights with others without the hassle of exporting or explaining raw data. Managing systems has become much more proactive for me, rather than simply reacting to problems as they arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Downside is, Overall , in view of compliance sometimes PII uploaded to s3 can be identified with Macie. But when its an image or pdf containing photo copies of such personal sensitive information its hard to identify. It might be stored on the ec2 or s3. But figuring out it is complex. We do have OCR techniques in some services, which can trigger ec2 playbooks. Yes , it can be achievable with right problem solving technique and using the required services.
