Galileo

Avantages

It is easy to implement in classroom, very spectacular.

Inconvénients

Nothing to complain, it is wonderful to use.

Avantages

for quick issue detection and preventing outages—those are some of the most critical aspects of managing energy systems like natural gas networks. The ability to identify potential issues early and take preventive measures can save a lot of time, reduce costs, and most importantly, improve safety.

The fact that accuracy in measurement is a standout feature for you is really important, especially in industries like natural gas management, where even small discrepancies can lead to significant operational challenges. When you’re working with such precise data, you can trust your decisions and avoid costly mistakes that might arise from inaccurate readings.

Inconvénients

When software is both intuitive and perfectly suited to your needs, it can make a huge difference in productivity and overall efficiency. It’s great that it’s meeting all your expectations.
I love Galileo

Avantages

I really liked how Galileo gives a clear view of everything happening in your systems.

Inconvénients

The many features they offer might feel overwhelming.

Avantages

The predictive analytics it provides in order to predict IT usage trends, forecast future trends and prevent capacity bottlenecks. Also, provides access to extensive historical data, enabling users to identify long-term trends and make data-backed decisions.

Inconvénients

There are occasional data sync delays. Also learning curve is steep and require significant time and training to master. Pricing is also one of the concerns.

Avantages

Real time data helps us troubleshoot with current data. Its ability to work with all of our storage device types makes integration easy. Its reporting trends helps us be proactive with our storage capacity planning.

Inconvénients

It sometimes takes a while to figure out how to find what you are looking for. This is good and bad. Its all there, its just a matter of finding out where to look for what you need. It takes time to dig around and figure out how it works.

Avantages

Great vendor support - very knowledgeable and extremely willing to explain and assist.Great graphing and charting; flexible enough to do almost anything if you take the time to learn how. It did not take us long to activate the features which we needed most, and it has been very reliable and robust, requiring very little maintenance.

Inconvénients

It is frustrating that for real-time monitoring, very few metrics are available for which we can view current data which would help with problem diagnosis like a performance problem. (many exist which are of little use to us) . Compared to non-realtime data, almost nothing important is immediately available. We should be able to choose which metrics to collect in order to trade off usefulness (to us) against collection time.It is perceived that to make use of any more functionality would require a large investment of time. We are probably doing it wrong, but we find it very hard to add new systems and configure them into our existing notifications - we have to do them one by one and feature by feature rather than being able to add a list of hosts to an existing object or capability.All systems send data to the cloud at the same time and that can result in some performance issues.We would like to be able to send alerts to distribution lists defined and controlled at our site so that the Galileo configuration does not have to change (e.g. the on-call paging), but with the monitoring hosted at AWS, email alerts take so many hops in AWS to our site and back out to MS365 ( hosted elsewhere) and through those mail hosts, that email alerts are rejected by cloud mail servers (over which we have no control) because they have been forwarded too many times ; we cannot leverage our on-site DLs and have to manually update the addresses in the Galileo GUI, which is tedious

Avantages

Ease of use. Able to see all systems within 1 location on GUI

Inconvénients

I see no Cons for this product. It is a great product and Bob is a wonderful trainer

Avantages

It shows all your device health in one place. The 3D views make finding problems easy. It helps fix issues quickly and keeps things working well.

Inconvénients

The setup at the beginning may be hard for some.

Avantages

How easy it is to deploy and how quickly I get access to relevant and useful data.

Inconvénients

That from the interactive charts view, there isn't a link, for an individual device or VM, to take me to the core Galileo view of that host or VM.

Avantages

Galileo Performance Explorer is very intuitive, easy to get started with and easy to navigate. What we also like about this product is how it keeps evolving and adding new hardware to help you manage and now even allowing you to look at your EPIC environment. As they continue to grow their product, it will be a one stop shop for a great tool.

Inconvénients

Nothing to add here because it keeps evolving and everything they add is relevant to the data center.

Avantages

As early adopters of the Galileo Suite, Troy University has significantly benefited from its robust IT infrastructure monitoring capabilities. The tool's predictive analytics and custom dashboards have been instrumental in proactively identifying system performance issues, preventing potential downtime. Its secure, agentless architecture and insightful exploratory analytics have streamlined our IT operations, enhancing efficiency and reliability across our campus networks.

Inconvénients

Exceptionally pleased with the tool, no complaints.

Avantages

It monitors a variety of OSes and is comprehensive with details and summary

Inconvénients

I have no dislikes at all - products just work

Avantages

Galileo provides our company numerous benefits. We have the Galileo AIX agents installed on all of our AIX machines. We use Galileo to do real-time troubleshooting, performance management and reporting. The tool is also used by our governance teams to ensure our service provider is meeting our SLA and KPIs.

Our service provider uses Galileo to gather data they can't get from the native in house tools.

Reporting on the environment is critical in my role and the Galileo staff has been more than willing to create and customize reports for myself and numerous other areas.

Inconvénients

I have no real cons related to the Galileo product.

Avantages

View of all aspects of server performance and resource usage as governance of Power systems.

Inconvénients

Not features but maintenance of agent health.

Avantages

I like that I can see from end to end via storage arrays to core switch's, to the hosts. I also like that Galileo can see into multiple vendors and provide the detailed data with very fast response time.

Inconvénients

Not FED ramped. We were not able to leverage galileo in the federal cloud as a service.

Avantages

The few times I needed assistance from support it was a good experience allowing private one on one time with support to work thru the issue to resolution.Having the history of the data available has been extremely beneficial.

Inconvénients

There are other features that I haven't tapped into yet such as reporting aspects or customized reports which I am unsure how to get started and what is offered.A heatmap is a feature that I would like to see implemented.

Avantages

I like that Galileo supports multiple platforms, including cloud. I use it for problem determination, scoping growth, troubleshooting, report generation. I have it installed on my IBM iSeries partitions as well as my AIX/VIO/Linux machines as well.

Inconvénients

If anything, I think there should be a centralized page describing what each feature of Galileo does- Explorer, Cloud Compass, Observatory, etc. For users that are new to the product, understanding what each of these can show you is important.

Avantages

It's comprehensive - it captures things many competing products don't. It's fairly intuitive once you've started using it a bit.

Inconvénients

Due to the vast functionality available, it can be tricky to find/configure things exactly the way you want.

Avantages

Galileo is an essential tool in my day to day work. I can quickly troubleshoot any storage issues from the array all the way to VMware in one place. I can see response times, utilization and if needed I can download the inventory and records which has helped me create my own storage reports as well. We have identified bottlenecks we did not know existed. I like being able to show trends to determine when we will need to upgrade based on statistics rather than subjective opinions.

Inconvénients

Galileo's always working on improvements to the application. They could do a better job informing their customers of the changes, with emails and classes.

Avantages

its ease of use, and details of performance and you can see your infrastructure in one location

Inconvénients

wish we were able to alert on Storage. ie.. when one or a few metrics spiked - i.e Host Cluster Service time spiked over 2milliseconds..

But we have started working with support and development to get this implemented

Avantages

What is most impressive with this product is it's intuitive nature and it's simple deployment paradigm.

Inconvénients

The product need to allow the user community to define its own reporting based on all the data collected.

Avantages

Automation of monitoring and notification. Timely reporting on issues.

Inconvénients

Have not reported any Cons to anyone on the team.

Avantages

The ability to quickly troubleshoot problems and prove that the environment is healthy.
Easy to look end to end view of you network and virtual environment.

Inconvénients

Updating clients software. Sometime solution enablers vm's need rebooting.

Avantages

Overall Views into our Datacenter, supports many OS

Inconvénients

Always having to resync Azure Vms and send in emails to correct duplicate issues

Avantages

Easy to use, no training required. Like that I can dig deep into historical data for planning initiatives.

Inconvénients

I would like more dashboard customization options for my specific infrastructure.
