Are SaaS vendor APIs really useful for IT monitoring?

Definition of “API”: the magic word that every IT sales person has to trot out as soon as they’re asked whether their application can interface with another.

Correct answer! (most of the time).

Now imagine the IT team implementing the solution and now thinking: “so how are we going to connect this tool and that other one?”. There you go. It’s like receiving a piece of Swedish furniture in kit form: now it has to be assembled!

Are there any interoperability issues?

Statistical studies on the IT monitoring market are, after all, rare.

We have, however, unearthed a 2021-2023 barometer commissioned by vendor Centreon from Vanson Bourne, based on a panel of 600 IT professionals in Europe and North America (companies with over 500 employees). You can download it here.

The first surprising figure: only 61% of their information systems are monitored.

27% of those surveyed consider visibility of their IS performance to be excellent. So there’s still a lot of fuzziness out there!

Last but not least, 59% of respondents are not satisfied with their tools, with the number 1 reason being poor integration of tools and their inability to provide unified visibility of their IS.

Being optimistic and benevolent, we could say that Senhub is aimed at 59% of EU and US companies!

The truth is undoubtedly a little more nuanced. Nevertheless, it does show that interoperability between IS management tools is a real issue.

  Senhub Pros: Son interface claire et intuitive ainsi que son abstraction des couches API des fournisseurs SAAS Cons: Toutes les métriques ne sont pas forcément disponibles dans l'outil, mais il est possible de soumettre des ajouts / évolutions à l'éditeur pour une implémentation en fonction de ses besoins

  Use of Senhub by Imatechnologies Pros: Senhub is really convenient for monitoring resources on Azure. It allows you to avoid the development of specific scripts. We have also used it for monitoring Google Analytics resources. The new interface is really very pleasant. Cons: No negative feedback to provide regarding the use of Senhub.

  Utilisation Senhub Manitou Pros: Ne pas avoir a développer des scripts spécifiques pour la supervision des composants Azure.  Cons: Gestion des instances un peu compliqué quand on commence a avoir beaucoup d'éléments. Un regroupement par type serait appréciable.
