A great tool with capabilities far beyond our ability to understand and exploit them
Overall, Galileo has been very useful to us, relatively easy to use at the basic level at which we use it, and the vendor support has been outstanding.
PROSGreat vendor support - very knowledgeable and extremely willing to explain and assist.Great graphing and charting; flexible enough to do almost anything if you take the time to learn how. It did not take us long to activate the features which we needed most, and it has been very reliable and robust, requiring very little maintenance.
CONSIt is frustrating that for real-time monitoring, very few metrics are available for which we can view current data which would help with problem diagnosis like a performance problem. (many exist which are of little use to us) . Compared to non-realtime data, almost nothing important is immediately available. We should be able to choose which metrics to collect in order to trade off usefulness (to us) against collection time.It is perceived that to make use of any more functionality would require a large investment of time. We are probably doing it wrong, but we find it very hard to add new systems and configure them into our existing notifications - we have to do them one by one and feature by feature rather than being able to add a list of hosts to an existing object or capability.All systems send data to the cloud at the same time and that can result in some performance issues.We would like to be able to send alerts to distribution lists defined and controlled at our site so that the Galileo configuration does not have to change (e.g. the on-call paging), but with the monitoring hosted at AWS, email alerts take so many hops in AWS to our site and back out to MS365 ( hosted elsewhere) and through those mail hosts, that email alerts are rejected by cloud mail servers (over which we have no control) because they have been forwarded too many times ; we cannot leverage our on-site DLs and have to manually update the addresses in the Galileo GUI, which is tedious
Reason for choosing Galileo
We were able to get it going at a basic level with relative ease, and with outstanding vendor support. With other products we were pretty much on our own and the staff member assigned to the task was not up to the challenge.

Performance Data Analytics as it should be SIMPLE!
Analysis of a total customer environment could have taken weeks before Galileo, now it take a couple of days to present data encompassing years years.
PROSWhat is most impressive with this product is it's intuitive nature and it's simple deployment paradigm.
CONSThe product need to allow the user community to define its own reporting based on all the data collected.

Galileo Review 10-26-23
I was the initial PM on the Galileo POC. Working with [sensitive content hidden] and others at Galileo has been great from the start. I've been in the IT infrastructure filed for 35+ years and they aren't a typical technology company. They are just as engaged post sale as pre-sale. Once purchased and deployed we had numerous Galileo led technical sessions on how to get the most out of the product. When we need a report Galileo showed us where we could gather the info or they created and customized a report just for us. We find their pricing very reasonable and we've not seen any large increases in license fees since we purchased. We're currently looking into a Galileo site license to expand our trouble shooting, capacity planning, reporting and governance capablilties.
PROSGalileo provides our company numerous benefits. We have the Galileo AIX agents installed on all of our AIX machines. We use Galileo to do real-time troubleshooting, performance management and reporting. The tool is also used by our governance teams to ensure our service provider is meeting our SLA and KPIs. Our service provider uses Galileo to gather data they can't get from the native in house tools. Reporting on the environment is critical in my role and the Galileo staff has been more than willing to create and customize reports for myself and numerous other areas.
CONSI have no real cons related to the Galileo product.

Early Adopter of Galileo, Troy University
As early adopters of the Galileo Suite, Troy University has significantly benefited from its robust IT infrastructure monitoring capabilities. The tool's predictive analytics and custom dashboards have been instrumental in proactively identifying system performance issues, preventing potential downtime. Its secure, agentless architecture and insightful exploratory analytics have streamlined our IT operations, enhancing efficiency and reliability across our campus networks.
CONSExceptionally pleased with the tool, no complaints.

Galileo User Review
We've used this to determine the impacts of application upgrades and for troubleshooting issues. We've also been able to identify anomalies and get them resolved before they became larger issues.
PROSIt's comprehensive - it captures things many competing products don't. It's fairly intuitive once you've started using it a bit.
CONSDue to the vast functionality available, it can be tricky to find/configure things exactly the way you want.
Reason for choosing Galileo
We spent an extensive amount of time at a Galileo demo at an IBM Technical University presentation. They also were willing (and did) come to our site and gave us a demo and answered our questions face to face. As a side note, they have been the most responsive vendor I have ever dealt with in almost 40 years of working in IT. The staff is highly knowledgeable, very customer oriented and very proactive with us.
Reasons for switching to Galileo
SolarWinds was a nightmare to configure and didn't work well with AIX. Uptime didn't offer the full suite of metrics that Galileo offers and they were unresponsive to feature requests.

Galileo delivers analytics for my enterprise
We are able to see statistics and trends which VMware does not provide out of the box. This help determine performance baselines and give us historical views on our environment. We can plan for improvements and upgrades and determine how our needs have changed.
PROSGalileo is an essential tool in my day to day work. I can quickly troubleshoot any storage issues from the array all the way to VMware in one place. I can see response times, utilization and if needed I can download the inventory and records which has helped me create my own storage reports as well. We have identified bottlenecks we did not know existed. I like being able to show trends to determine when we will need to upgrade based on statistics rather than subjective opinions.
CONSGalileo's always working on improvements to the application. They could do a better job informing their customers of the changes, with emails and classes.
Reason for choosing Galileo
This software was recommended by our 3rd party vendor and used for health checks.

Galileo Review
My experience with Galileo has been fantastic. I don't recall ever having an issue with usage and availability.
PROSThe few times I needed assistance from support it was a good experience allowing private one on one time with support to work thru the issue to resolution.Having the history of the data available has been extremely beneficial.
CONSThere are other features that I haven't tapped into yet such as reporting aspects or customized reports which I am unsure how to get started and what is offered.A heatmap is a feature that I would like to see implemented.

Galileo review
I am able to review performance information and use it to troubleshoot issues. i like that the data remains in Galileo for as long as it's collected and you can revert back to old data for comparison.
PROSI like that Galileo supports multiple platforms, including cloud. I use it for problem determination, scoping growth, troubleshooting, report generation. I have it installed on my IBM iSeries partitions as well as my AIX/VIO/Linux machines as well.
CONSIf anything, I think there should be a centralized page describing what each feature of Galileo does- Explorer, Cloud Compass, Observatory, etc. For users that are new to the product, understanding what each of these can show you is important.

A Must Have Data Center Tool
Galileo Performance Explorer is very intuitive, easy to get started with and easy to navigate. What we also like about this product is how it keeps evolving and adding new hardware to help you manage and now even allowing you to look at your EPIC environment. As they continue to grow their product, it will be a one stop shop for a great tool.
CONSNothing to add here because it keeps evolving and everything they add is relevant to the data center.
