More than a monitoring
We are maintaining comparatively really big environment with many users, being aware of even little outages or events helps us to inform customer and users accordingly to provide better support and also prevent the possible incidents/problems in future.
PROSIt is more than a monitoring system, it is also a system you can configure the force systems to act accordingly/ regarding the alarms or situation.
CONSRegarding my experience with Alarming solution for events, only missing part is to combine multiple alarms into 1 only alarms. As we all know, system has its own dependencies like network connections. When WAN connection is down, system created multiple events for multiple thresholds which are configured on systems behind that WAN connection. That would be great to have only 1 main alarm to tell customer that there is an alarm which affects all devices/systems behind that connection. I believe this function will be available in next upcoming software releases.

IR Collaborate VoIP Monitoring
While IR Collaborate is monitoring and reporting on our telephony environment - we are able to focus on building and running the telephony environments. The flexibility of the solution allows us to continue to expand our monitoring capabilities as we evolve our capabilities. IR Collaborate is also an invaluable training tool. Through deep insights into the telephony protocols and call quality data, our engineers are able to better understand how the telephony environment is used by our transport and contact center systems.
PROSIR's Collaborate allows us to have "single pane of glass" to view our very large, multi-vendor telephony environment. This allows us to have a single dashboard to "manage our environment to". Through having the data staged and ready for use, IR's Collaborate enables us to quickly develop custom dashboards "focusing in" on specific areas of the environment for more focused monitoring or reporting.
CONSSome advanced dashboard features require advanced training as they are not as intuitive as the core functionality. However, one would expect this of most any application that allows you to customize the data views as much as Collaborate does.

Prognosis IR
it has got default out of box monitoring, that is one good thing.. but things are getting changing pretty rapidly. we can't stick with the same display over time as our technology changes. If we require to make modification, that is obviously going to cost us a lot from IR.
CONSCons, it is too pricey. This requires either professional services from IR or Product knowledge in order to program any simple monitoring.
Reason for choosing IR Collaborate
This was not chosen by us, probably by our previous team.
Reasons for switching to IR Collaborate
Solarwinds is much cheaper compared to Prognosis. the Customer support is very good. there are too many resources and Trainings are available in order to make the product be aware of the use it more effectively. I dont require to have any Prognosis proprietary knowledge to configure our systems for monitoring. The solarwinds has got generic wizard very easy user interface to implement and add devices for monitoring. we have our own dedicated Solarwinds tools admin within our organization, thus we wanted to leverage their support and while reducing the cost by switching this to Solarwinds.
Vendor Response
Thanks for your feedback! While SolarWinds may have some similar features, IR Collaborate is a speciliazed UC & Collaboration tool which can be quite in-depth and complex.

IR Collaberate
We have had mixed results with allot of struggles in the product, but bottom line it has saved us on several occasions when the UC environment has been called into question for call quality issues. It has been an essential part of our ability to quickly represent the facts in troubleshooting situations. We have also found it to be very beneficial in highlighting faults when they occur so we can get on top of things before they become a larger issue.
PROSI like the ability to have a view of all of my UC systems in a single pane of glass instead of having to monitor each separately.
CONSConfiguration and customization is fairly complicated to get things dialed in for our environment. There are several bugs and gotchas we have encountered and there are some limitations that are disappointing.

Largest tool in the box
Overall, my experience has been stellar. We always receive swift feedback, and our requests for assistance never go unanswered. IR is almost an extension of my internal team. We reach out and work with their engineers consistently, and have never found a reason to look elsewhere for this type of tool.
PROSI like the customization when it comes to the displays. At a glance, I can see everything that is important to me with regard to my environment.
CONSI've not really had any "cons" with this software. Sure, I have products or processes that I would like to see integrated into the software, but that is normal anywhere. IR does an awesome job integrating as many different products, vendors, and systems into the software as they can, and they are always working to add more.
Reasons for switching to IR Collaborate
We have been using IR Collaborate for several years now.

Using IR Collaborate for system monitoring
Overall, we have been very happy to have IR Collaborate. The biggest win has been the ability to easily troubleshoot issues related to QOS issues.
PROSWe use IR Collaborate to monitoring our Avaya phone system. We have been using the product since 2012 and rely on this system to monitor of our systems to report issues via email. It does this really well. The tools to troubleshoot quality issues are extremely helpful in identifying specifically where issues are happening. Seeing Avaya specific information like firmware information is also extremely helpful for upgrades.
CONSThe product is a bit complicated to use at first but after the first few months it's pretty easy to navigate and find what you are looking for. Customizing and building new displays was difficult at first and requires a bit of planning and understanding of how the system works in order to successfully create these.

Solid Product
The platform just runs...we do not see any down time or issues with the software. Once it is setup, we feel very comfortable that we will get alerts on any issues it is monitoring.
CONSThere is so much this product CAN do and monitor. While we use it for a few select items, the interface in setting up some components can be difficult(CDR). Our account team has always been very helpful in guiding us through these configurations.
Reason for choosing IR Collaborate
We upgraded from a trail version of the product that was given with a system upgrade.

Prognosis gives lot of insight in the network
Starting database and IRFAX collection are very useful feature which helps in identifying the exact cause of the issue. Reading and setting thresholds are easy to use.
CONSGUI is outdated. It does not have feature to change thresholds in one go, you have to edit them one by one. On thick client there is no option to undo if you accidently delete any config file until unless you have a back of that file. I am used to of Linux so hoping its Linux version as well as it is easy for me to use.
