Discover why IT pros are switching from traditional on-prem network monitoring toward modern cloud-based solutions.
“If an on-premises network monitoring solution goes down, it’s much harder to get alerts, whereas the cloud solution can tell you that it’s down because it can’t see it… The other aspect that’s nice is if hardware crashes on-premises because of a ransomware attack, for example, and I have my logs stored in a cloud solution, I can still get to those logs to figure out what happened or how the attacker got in and do some forensics work. Whereas if the logs were being stored on-premises, I would probably have lost them all.”

“A cloud-based solution, as opposed to an on-prem solution, meant there was one less thing to worry about. I didn’t have to configure another device or provision a server and support it myself. It was easier having it supported by someone else. Because it’s cloud-based, it scales almost infinitely.”

“Since the software resides on the vendor’s cloud infrastructure, they handle product maintenance and updates. This translates to a lighter workload for our team, as there’s no need for manual maintenance on our end.”

“We wanted a convenient cloud-based platform to collect data that we don’t have to host locally. We like that having space available is not our problem.”

“A cloud-based solution reduces our hardware costs because we don’t need to deploy a VM for monitoring. Also, we’re a managed service provider, so we would have to have an on-prem solution for each client, which would be cost-prohibitive.”

“We have so many different customers with data centers, so it’s crucial to have the ability to monitor and manage the solution remotely and switch through different tenants under our primary client login. It’s a pain if I have to log in to someone’s network and pull up their on-premise monitoring system, especially if part of their network is down and that tool is not accessible.”
