DevOps Engineer

Grant W.: Hi there. My name's Grant. I'm a DevOps engineer. I would give Zabbix a four out of five rating. For more reviews, click below. Previous to using Zabbix, we were using Nagios for our monitoring. While it did seem to be okay, we found that Zabbix was a much better solution overall. We decided to go with [Nabbix 00:00:27] for our monitoring for multiple different reasons actually. The first one being the amount of different plugins that Zabbix has. We like the interface on it. We liked the speed of getting things set up. It seems to be a nice monitoring tool overall. We found getting set up with Zabbix to be relatively easily actually. We looked at all the options and deployed Zabbix within a couple of months. We have fine tuned it to our specific needs, and it seems to be working well. I would recommend anybody who wants to use Zabbix take a look at all the options. Take a look at all the plugins. Do your planning before you even start to look at rolling this out. Doing that will save you a lot of time in the long run, and it'll all be set up correctly and nicely for you.

Owner

Jeanette: Hi, I'm Jeanette, and I'm a business owner. And I give Google Alerts four out of five stars. For more reviews, please click below. As a business owner who does various different services for clients all around the world, google Alerts helps me greatly keep on top of many different things. I love the fact that I can put up different words to get alerted when they're being talked about, or being that I'm a very public person, that I am able to alert when anybody says my name, my complete name, I can put into the system. So therefore, I can go and either thank the person for tagging me into a social media post, or I can share or build relationships. As well as, with social media, it's so important to know what's going on in the different platforms. So by setting alerts, I am keeping on top of my business to the four corners of this round world using Google Alerts. So what I like most about Google Alerts is I have a very unique social media training program. And it's got a unique title. And what I love is I'm able to put that into Google Alerts. So if somebody is using my, say, system or a version of my system, I can be on top of if somebody is basically ripping off what I do for a living. So that's what I love the most, is when you are a small business owner and you have developed your own unique programs, you want to keep on top of it, and Google Alerts definitely helps me with this. The one thing that I like least about Google Alerts, you know I gave them four out of five stars, is they don't allow the use of symbols, like quotation marks. Because my program has got quotation marks in the branding of it, I tend to get a lot of alerts that aren't relevant to what I put the Google Alert in. So Google Alerts it'd be great if you could include quotation marks, or question marks, or exclamation points. It would make a lot easier for me to go through all those great alerts I get to make business that much easier for me.
