System Management Software

Devices that are offline are shown as unhealthy on the dashboard which I would prefer to not be included in the statistics. It does let me customise other health information though which is good.

I wish I could run patching/scripts on a scheduled basis if its missed, I think this is an upcoming feature.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OS and Software patching and showing at a glance which devices this has failed on, and most importantly for us being able to automate scripts on devices which helps us keep other aspects of the workstations up to date.

I also now have it monitoring my online servers as an uptime monitor to see if they are offline so I can find out before my users tell me.

It is also providing us with backups and I can quickly access them via NinjaOne to download a file a user has mistakenly deleted. There is also an option to do a full image restore which we have been able to do when transferring a broken workstation into a virtual machine which is something we would not have been able to easily do before NinjaOne.

We also use it for MDM to ensure that company owned iPhones are being updated and we can remote wipe them and change passcodes if users forget them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The menu and overall user interface could use some improvement. For instance, in ITSM, the Operations Workspace is utilized, while for CSM, we rely on the CSM/FSM configurable workspace. However, not all features—such as UI actions and lists—are implemented in a consistent way across these areas. At times, it feels as though the various product teams within ServiceNow are not coordinating closely with one another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Previously, we lacked accurate insights into resolution times, which often led to contractual breaches and associated fines. The implementation of the CMDB has also enhanced efficiency within our change management board by providing better visibility into our application stacks. What stands out most is how quickly the organization has adopted the system. Once users become familiar with one module, it becomes much easier to implement and adopt additional modules, as they are designed to work together and follow a consistent logic.

We usually used the Screenconnect Remote Access client. The Splashtop access does not always connect to the remote computer. It often failed so we found ourselves using Screenconnect. We also tried Teamviewer but their method of launching Teamviewer from within Atera is a little clunky.

Their hardware inventory reports leaves something to be desired. It's kind of hard to find, not named in a way that makes it easy to find. It has both too much information and not enough information at the same time - at least in a format that is useful to me. Often times, I would like to just get a summary of Name, CPU, Memory, Drive Size, to be able to tell if I need to replace an older system. Most of the available reports flood me with too much information (pages) that I have to slog through each PC one by one to get the information I need, and then I have to hand assemble that into my own summary that is much more concise.

Atera is a polished, well running experience, but I couldn't help but feel there were a couple things missing. Nothing I could ever exactly put my fingers on as they hit all the basics really well, but it may have just been things that I would only use occasionally. They are constantly adding and improving the product, which is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We mostly needed remote access (ie, something that ScreenConnect or Teamviewer could provide) to provide remote support to our customers. The extra RMM capabilities where systems can be monitored, alerts given for low disk space, high temperatures, low toner, are nice. Proactive alerts are handy for knowing about potential problems before they become larger. We were small enough not to need the ticketing component, we usually solve problems on the first pass and don't need to track them, but the system to create and track tickets is good and worked well on the few occasions we had to play with it. The reports are handy, and extremely in depth - more than we needed. 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.

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.

The licensing model, and not being able to purchase smaller batches, is my dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At Sonaca, we use Jira Service Management across multiple departments, including IT and other areas. It has been instrumental in helping us deliver excellent support to our internal users worldwide. By enabling us to collect detailed information through web portal forms, we have been able to efficiently implement and tailor the routing of work to the appropriate teams responsible for resolving issues and requests. This also provides a reliable way to communicate with end users. Additionally, JSM allows us to link IT assets with tickets and end users in one centralized platform.

As an IT engineer in a busy MSP, Autotask has pretty much become one of the tools I rely on every day. It pulls together ticketing, time tracking, asset management and projects into one place, which definitely helps keep things organised when workloads get messy.

What Autotask Does Well

Ticketing that actually works

Easy enough to manage loads of tickets. Categories, quick notes, and automation make it simpler to prioritise and stay on top of things.

Great integrations

Works smoothly with Datto RMM, backup tools and other monitoring systems, so everything lands in one central spot. Cuts out a lot of duplication.

Decent reporting

The dashboards and reports are detailed and customisable, which helps when tracking SLAs or spotting recurring issues.

Solid project and asset tracking

Projects are easier to follow with milestones and dependencies, and asset info is stored neatly, which saves time when troubleshooting.

Where It Falls Short

UI feels outdated

It works, but it looks a bit old and can be overwhelming for new engineers.

Mobile app is lacking

Fine for quick ticket updates, but not great for anything more involved.

Automation is powerful but tricky

You can do a lot with it, but setting it up isn’t always straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that Helpdesk 365 is able to automatically assign a ticket to our "teams ticket" without having to manually assign it to an agent/supervisor/admin from our team before it moves to "teams ticket". At the moment I can see all the unassigned tickets as I am admin, but Helpdesk 365 is being used by 3 different departments/teams from our organization. There are tickets that are for HR (my team) in the unassigned tickets column, which cannot be seen in the teams ticket column unless I assign the ticket directly to one of the members of the HR Team. It was a bit hard, because we didn't know why the requesters are receiving all notifications related to their ticket, because the default is all yes. It stressed us out for a bit, because all emails sent to HRHelp email creates a ticket ID when we were used to just emailing HR Help to converse with our team who shares this inbox.

Helpdesk 365 helps us organize and prioritize tickets, making it easy to see outstanding issues and allocate them to the right team members, enhancing our support system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In our current context,

As our infrastructure or application footprint grows, storage costs increase proportionally and can become a major expense. If we need to retain data for extended periods, expect those costs to rise even further (so storage necessity is the key).

Just like other platforms, Datadog also offers numerous integrations with third-party platforms like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Jira. We leveraged on all these channels initially that lead to increased costs, as each integration added complexity and resource usage along with increase complexity implementing them. We had to strip someof them to manage cost and purpose of applications at different environment levels.

There are so many options for same purpose but without proper guidance or complete understanding of that usecase, we may en dup implement more than what is required. So purpose is key here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Datadog is helping us providing the complete picture of problem with some initial details and by giving us a single platform to monitor 50+ microservices across 40+ AWS accounts, so nothing slips through the cracks. we have some first hand information based on automation or test suits logs, we know where to check, leading to less turn around time.

2. It tackles incident management/response challenges with real-time alerts, on-call integration, and automated triage, identifying similar patterns, notes around the service and resolution documents helping us fix issues before they impact customers at large extend. Its integration to different platforms we manage (almost all) is really a value add.

3. Built-in health checks and test suites keep our systems in shape, while integrations with AWS, PagerDuty, Slack, and more make the whole workflow smooth and connected. Datadog eliminates tool silos and creates a smooth workflow for monitoring and incident resolution.

4. From service-level segregation to rich dashboards, Datadog turns most of our log data into simple insights for engineers and execs alike. Different dashboards at low level and higher level made our life easy from monitoring to presenting the data to higher-ups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s nothing to dislike. It’s the number 1 observability tool to use, implement, and monitor applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In Dynatrace, we can set up alerts based on anomalies as well as static thresholds. It can notify you before your application goes down, or when any issue occurs, helping you keep things secure. We can also set service-level boundaries for SLA, SLO, and SLI. In addition, we can create multiple dashboards for the DevOps team to keep an eye on the application’s performance. Overall, it helps you secure your application and address problems before it goes down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The primary challenge was the initial design phase to mold the platform to our specific hybrid of IT and physical asset management. While flexible, configuring the service catalog, approval chains, and SLAs to seamlessly handle everything from a leaky faucet ticket to a corporate software rollout required careful planning. For a lean operations team, fully leveraging the advanced AI and automation features to their potential is an ongoing journey. It demands a dedicated investment of time to configure and trust the system's predictive insights, which can be a stretch when managing day-to-day firefights across multiple locations.

Freshservice is directly solving our core problem of operational fragmentation and invisible workload. Before implementation, service requests were trapped in a black hole of emails, text messages, and walk-up conversations, leading to missed issues, frustrated employees, and no way to measure our team's efficiency or asset lifecycle costs. This platform has eradicated that chaos by centralizing all communicationinto a single, trackable, and accountable system. The benefit for me is twofold: strategic and operational. Operationally, my team's productivity has soared with clear, automated work queues, and employee satisfaction has increased because everyone receives timely status updates. Strategically, I now have a powerful data engine to analyze trends, forecast equipment failures, and definitively demonstrate the ROI and business-critical value of our maintenance and IT departments to executive leadership.

There are two main points I want to mention. First, their AI-based functionalities still seem somewhat immature. Second, they do not offer SIEM monitoring. However, for our needs, these issues are not dealbreakers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main issue that CubeAPM addresses for us is providing clear visibility into our technology. We now have precise insights into how our servers and APIs are performing, and it helps us identify bottlenecks quickly. As a result, we've been able to significantly reduce downtime, which in turn helps us avoid or minimize both business and reputation losses. For a tech company, the worst scenario is having your site go down while the team remains unaware, and CubeAPM has helped us prevent that. 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. 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.

It is worth noting that the tool is still in heavy development. While the team is clearly trying their best and moving quickly, not all convenience features are present yet compared to older, more bloated competitors. However, the stability and speed of the core features more than make up for the current gaps in the "nice-to-have" category. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For an engineering team without a dedicated DevOps department, Dash0 removes the operational burden of 'tool-chaining' by providing a unified, OTel-native environment that automatically correlates logs and traces, allowing us to maintain full visibility into our services without needing a specialist to manage complex infrastructure or proprietary agents.

I mean, there was a better way to manage invalid alarms. Sometimes you have a known issue that you are working on, and you want to suppress that specific alert without silencing the whole service. Right now, setting those exclusions is a manual one-by-one process. That leaves a bit behind the rest of the tool automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
