Subject: RE: [SA-list] Evaluation
Thanks for the input. I've heard nothing but
wonderful things about SA and am excited about our purchase. Since I
don't have the checkbook, I have to send the request to the boss. For
the relatively little money, I think we're getting much in
return.
If you don't mind me asking... how did you configure your
SMS stuff. I'm still searching for a way to configure it. I just
have to find someone that has the ability to text from their
phone.
A horde? Paints an interesting picture of a
ruthless band of developers seeking out any and all network deviances
:-)
To put in my two pennies I have been using SA for
a while now and it has saved my backside from the flames of unemployment a few
times.
It's currently monitoring a 14\7, 2000+ seat
call centre infrastructure containing MX, DB, DNS, Web and dialler
systems (as well as the usual Windows AD set-up) split across 7 sites.
It's set to sms text me or one of the other team (depending who is
on-call) when systems are down, services have stopped running or even
when the Comms rooms have gotten too hot. It has convinced my boss (a
die hard fan of another monitoring product costing thous££££££) to stop
hassling me to implement what every one else is using and to turn on more
SA monitoring.
On top of that, anything I have ever wanted
to do with it has either been explained in the manual, by one of the many
regular contributors to the list or by Dirk himself.
I'll admit the first time I paid for SA I was
worrying if I'd thrown (relatively little) money away. But I can safely
say it has been the best professional buy I have made.

? This raises an interesting
point. To be honest, I've always assumed that Dirk = Woodstone = Dirk. Is
there a vast horde of Woodstoners hiding behind the scenes?

Don't forget the rest of the Woodstone team. Not to slight Dirk
for all
of the work he does answering these emails, but it takes the
whole team
to keep this running.
