We currently use -
Numerous times their alerts have beat out our notifications without
false alarms.
Also, as the reason one purchases such a service, its a backup for our
own
monitoring. We also use Keynote as thats what our customers are used
to, and
also subscribe to. This allows us to se what they see should we need
to discuss
SLA's. Systems Watch is much cheaper than Keynote for those that have
actually
priced out, or subscribe to the service.
All in all, when I get an alert from Systems Watch, I do make way to a
console
more than I would with my own monitoring.
Happy trails,
Eddy
