Very easy interface, multiple installation options like Ubuntu, Synology and Docker to name a few. Easy setup which allows me to deploy within minutes. Recently deployed three agents to remote locations. The VPN feature allows us to keep full control. A nice touch - the VPN can be configured to access via custom ports. I have a single box solution for a remote customer that is running a Type 1 Hypervisor and multiple VM's and Containers within. I can access everything via the VPN without any human involvement, which given the locations, is a must. I also use the Android app for alarms (I can also access remote devices through the VPN from my phone) and this works well. remember to disable battery control on your Android, otherwise alarms can be delayed. If using SNMP PoE devices, you can power cycle the port on the switch via the web interface or app. It also has great recognition of well known devices and will group them if required. For example, our office has several Samsung Smart TV's as well as Ubiquity network equipment. They have each been grouped which allows for quick access.

None that hinder my requirements. The map (when using SNMP devices) is quick to populate however, you are unable to modify it's layout or add colour. This would be a nice touch. But this does not discourage my use of the product.

Highly recommended! For £20 pm you will be hard pushed to find anything better. There are many other remote access products but I have found them to be fiddly or time consuming, not to mention costly. We are a startup so cost is obviously very important to us. Domotz provides exactly what we need, with a simple interface and ease of use.

Domotz automatically identifies many devices automatically so you don't have to guess what something is. In addition the tool is so easy to use it takes very little time to become proficient. I had not successfully worked with an API integration before and through the webinars and support I built my own custom dashboard and learned some new skills in the process.

Drawbacks:

none really. I try to break it daily and have not succeeded yet.

I fix networks and keep them fixed for a living. Having a simple tool that can reach out an touch every device, on every vlan and tell you what it is makes you an invaluable asset to any organization.

We leave from another platform because the cost was most expensive. During a Synology DSM 7 Beta test, we found this cloud network platform and we try to use it. The features is not the same like the platform abandoned, but the features is constantly a work in progress. The support is very professional and a very smart team. The plus, is that the idea and development is an Italian team, and for an italian citizen is a very proud plus!

Drawbacks:

The only things I don't like is the subnet scan that is a /22 scanning. But, the support team is on piece to help you to improve it.

Summary:

This plaform help us to monitor some customer networks to proactive solve issue. Very helpfully!

Very quickly spots new devices in the network and also keeps track of what port in the switch it comes through. And also keeps a good view of all the devices and tracks status. Also the software is developed and new smart features and is added on a regular basis.

So far there is really no things that I dislike. It really works OK in my opinion. The only thing that I do not like is that they have removed the "Lite" version so private persons like myself could afford to use this powerful software. (I have been running the "Legacy Lite plan" at an affordable level for a private user but you could not order that any more) However, apart from that and for businesses I still would recommend this as it is a good software for sure.

I have been using Domotz Pro for almost 2 years now and my main purpose was to get a good program that could spot new devices popping up in the network to spot strange behavior BUT also to keep track of the status of all my existing "good" devices and see if important ones goes offline. I have tried to find other similar products on the market but have not found one that is as good as Domotz.

Benefits:

I can monitor pretty much whatever I want with a good degree of customization, many alarms (actions) possible, easy reporting

At individual level visuals are great, also has good devices group general views but lacks of dashboard-style view where you could group certain devices or individual monitors in gauges and graphs

Summary:

Been using it for more than 10 years and implemented it in 5 different companies so far, I has my back all the time!

PA Server Monitor makes it easy to monitor a wide variety of products. We monitor Windows servers, Linux servers, switches, temperature and humidity sensors, VPN devices, and more. It provides critical visibility into everything from cpu, memory, disk space and other performance metrics to important logs from all of the devices mentioned. PA Server Monitor was easy to set up and provides a wealth of information with minimal effort. It was very easy to integrate into our current environment offering multiple ways to be alerted about issues.

PA Server Monitor is a great product but for some devices such as the temperature and humidity monitor we use, we have to manually set up the device using the SNMP monitor built into PA Server Monitor. This wasn't overly difficult but some other monitoring products offer more integrations and functionality. However, those products generally cost an order of magnitude more than PA Server Monitor.

It was great to monitor whole bunch of devices on dozen locations, on desktop, mobile, web, mail, SMS ... Many monitors, a lot of options. Windows, Linux, VMWare, built-in server monitoring (like iLO for HP servers). I did not founf anything we was unable to monitor. We have built own temperature sensor and use it with Power Admin to monitor temperature in server rooms ... just great

Drawbacks:

I realy don't know what to write here becouse i am a happy customer / user :-)
