Jaymes Davis,
Director of Product Strategy, Tehama
“If you keep things manageable, you can work where you should work. For us, ControlUp enables us to keep the focus where it should be: on the business, itself.”
Nils Joossens,
Chief IT Administrator, Lineas
“ControlUp has shown big increases [in productivity] since the COVID lockdowns began; it’s been a huge part of building out our new infrastructure”
Mike Ryan,
Lead Infrastructure Architect, AmeriTrust Group
“ControlUp allows us to bypass egos and external influences and just see the raw information. There’s no ego in ControlUp; it’s just information, unvarnished by humans.”
Noel Mahnkopf,
eHealth NSW
“ControlUp has been a lifesaver for Parentix. It has saved us money, stress, and, most importantly, time! We couldn’t be happier with the platform or the ControlUp team.”
Marcel Korbee, Cloud Ops Engineer,
Parentix
“It’s great to know what events are normal for our environment and being able to immediately respond to those abnormal ones that crop up. Thanks for a great product!”
Al Boyce, Systems Analyst,
NCSECU
“Before ControlUp we were reactive, but now we are 100% proactive”
Jay Clarke, Systems Administrator III
“Not only does ControlUp provide real-time monitoring, it has a plethora of tools and features that make administration a breeze. Not sure how we got along with out it all these years.”
Lawrence J. Clark, SAAS Manager
“Probably the most cost effective monitoring tool I have ever purchased in my 30 years within the IT industry. Does what it says and for an incredible price. ControlUp is a no brainer.”
Sean Whetstone, Head of IT Services
“Previously I used ControlUp primarily as a dashboard utility to check the status of servers, but new features have opened it up to do so much more. I’m excited about managing App-V packages on my XenApp servers with the script based actions.”
Michael Kutyna, Systems Admin Programmer
“Monitoring a 24/7 XenApp farm with ~2500 concurrent users is never an easy task, but ControlUP certainly makes it easier! There are other solutions out there, but none that is so complete, a true one-stop solution.”
Shlomi Malul, Citrix and Endpoint Team Leader
“The ControlUp client uses very little resources and installs quickly. This the best product I have used for monitoring Citrix Servers. I highly recommend it!”
Kevin Simpson, Citrix/Windows Infrastructure Specialist
