Review on VirtualWisdom by Frank Dubey

VirtualWisdom - Great way find out lots & Lots...

The most useful thing about virtual wisdom is that it allows us to track our server load at any given time as well as know where we are in terms of CPU usage from different servers which used for running my applications on cloud. There's no such feature like this other than VMware vSphere Hypervisor but VMWare doesn't provide detailed breakdowns or graphs either so I would say its not too bad if you're looking up your own system logs since they do give some information. It doesnt really help me much with monitoring vmware clusters though because i dont see how many resources each VM has using their builtin tools (though there might be something hidden somewhere). If anyone needs more details then feel free to ask! At first when someone saw what kind of application am building he/she may think "oh thats nice" however after having seen everything working together - nothing else can come close except maybe docker containers themselves plus all dependencies added via npm etc. I like how easy it is to get up and running in the system, and that you can quickly see what's going wrong (or right) with your virtual infrastructure. It's pretty pricey for a tool that only does one thing, but if you're looking for an all-in-one solution, this could be it. We use VMWare to run our physical servers, and we've found it difficult to monitor everything on the VM level. VirtualWisdom makes it very easy to track things like CPU load, memory usage, network traffic, disk activity, etc.

Pros
  • In general being able easily create complex setups without needing specialized knowledge just by simply dragging around shapes into place instead of coding them directly through xml config files
Cons
  • Minor Issues
