Take our word for it, but also take our customer's word.
"Business disruptions in technology performance and availability would directly impact customer satisfaction for online trading. This would affect sales, as well as trade volume. ... GroundWork developed a solution for Comdirect Bank to monitor any web environment changes that may arise, without limiting the reach and monitoring."
"HP OpenView is way too expensive for our needs. GroundWork Monitor Enterprise is the best I've seen to date. It fits both small and large business needs, has a very good price point on entry, and it's based on Linux. What's not to love!"—Klaus Schreyack, Senior Systems Administrator
"For CDF Corporation, Enterprise Quickstart with CentOS provides us with an enterprise-class product that can fine-tune thresholds and monitoring techniques -- giving us optimal monitoring capabilities for our unique manufacturing environment."—Alex Ivkovic, IT Manager
"If monitoring doesn't work, we're dead. It usually takes about 10 minutes before we get our first call from a client. Our customers pay us a lot of money not to go down."—Joe Reinig, Senior Network Engineer
"The alerting capability gives us the ability to stay a step ahead of the problems. As a result, we are seeing reduced system downtime, increased application performance, and improved control over our IT environment. We have been able to not only meet, but actually exceed our SLA (Service Level Agreement) targets thanks largely to GroundWork."—Wilvin Szeto, VP Technology Operations
"We switched to GroundWork Monitor Enterprise because it cost much less than Netmon for managing our Windows and Linux servers. GWME’s Nagios implementation really works for us and it runs Nagios plug-ins natively."—Mike Marshall, Senior Network Administrator
