Review: Empirix' OneSight 5.0: Page 2 of 4

OneSight organizes devices and services--including switches, servers and application processes--into groups, then shows each item in the group as a dot on its clever status screen. Item status is conveyed through the dot's color: red for critical, yellow for warning or green for good. Click on a dot and you're linked to underlying details that can be used to diagnose problems or for simple monitoring. This setup made it easy for me to scan the services I was monitoring to assess NWC Inc.'s overall status.


Good
  • Groups like systems and applications
  • Provides granular links to specific performance data

  • Bad

  • Lacks centralized report management
  • All reports sent to all e-mail recipients
