Type of review

It's great that it can be used both via Web GUI or CLI (command line interface). Easy setup of various sensors/hosts within your environment with just few clicks in its graphical installer wizard. Great support from cactus team when you run into any issues - they respond super quick! I wish we could export our graphs into some other software like Tableau / Excel which would solve one more issue but then again this might not work if there are no APIs available yet so well worth exploring…

Pros
  • Also, ability create dashboard views through web guis makes is very accessible solution across entire IT infra management teams without requiring much technical knowledge about script writing & deployment
Cons
  • Almost never
