Why Choose Site24x7?

Out-of-the-box monitoring for your IT

Site24x7 provides straightforward monitoring, allowing you to monitor your infrastructure, networks, applications, and websites right out of the box, without the need for any additional exporters or configurations. Various features like log management, network management, and APM are readily available in Site24x7, whereas Prometheus requires multiple integrations and exporters to achieve the same thing.

Alerting and notifications

Site24x7 includes native alerting and notification features that allow users to set up thresholds and receive alerts via various channels (email, SMS, etc.) when issues are detected. Whereas, Prometheus may require additional tools or configurations for this.

Built-in integrations

Site24x7 offers built-in integrations with various technologies, making it easier for users to monitor diverse environments without extensive manual configuration. With Prometheus, users might need to configure and manage these integrations separately.

Ease of use

With a well-organized and user-friendly interface and an easy setup process, Site24x7 is easily accessible for beginners and experienced users.

One-stop shop for your IT monitoring needs

Site24x7 is part of ManageEngine's comprehensive suite of IT management products, serving as a one-stop shop for your IT management requirements—including IT service management, unified endpoint management, and security information and event management. Also, being a division of Zoho, Site24x7 inherits the rich culture of continuous research and development as well as a customer-first approach.

Comprehensive support

Site24x7's support team can be easily reached via email, phone call, SMS, and community forums, while Prometheus has only a community forum.
