This application is not available for the Mac, Windows, iPhone, Ipad, and Android devices.

What do you like best about Sensu?

The push/pull architecture makes Sensu super flexible, able to handle traditional deployments as well as cloud-native autoscaled / bursted workloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sensu?

RabbitMQ can be complicated to operate at times. Also, some of the flexibility of Sensu encourages bad patterns, like writing smart monitoring scripts instead of having smarter health checks in the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sensu:

Make sure you look at using Sensu 2.0 - which is rewritten in golang and removes the dependency on RabbitMQ. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sensu solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ensuring reliability for a SaaS platform in order to meet customer SLAs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
