We already have a monitoring tool. Why would we change?
You don't have to rip anything out. If you already run NetBox or Zabbix, Pulse reads straight from them and you'll see your own data on day one. If you don't, we build them for you, either on your own servers or hosted by us in New Zealand. Either way, you can start with a few sites alongside what you've got and decide from there.
My team is too small to run open source.
Fair enough, and that's who it's built for. We deploy it, connect it to your systems and train your team, and we can host it in New Zealand if you'd rather not. You take over at your own pace, and nothing forces the handover.
If it breaks, who do I call?
Us, any time. We offer 24x7 support, and Focus Hours gives you engineering time each month from people who already know your network. Because you own the system and the documentation, your team isn't stuck waiting on a vendor to look at it either.
Is this just another vendor lock-in?
No, and that's the main thing. Pulse is open source under AGPL-3.0 on GitHub, and it sits on NetBox and Zabbix, which are standard tools with well-known APIs. Your data stays on your own servers or ours in New Zealand, your choice. If Omega disappeared tomorrow, any good engineer could pick it up.
What does it cost?
Pulse is free for up to 50 devices. App Store plans step up by device count (Growth, Pro and Unlimited), and you can always self-host it free from GitHub. If you'd like us to host and run it, or want engineering time each month, we'll price it with you on a call. Current Pulse prices are on the Pulse page.
Will it work with the gear we've already got?
Yes, whatever the brand. Pulse shows everything recorded in NetBox and monitored in Zabbix, and if you don't run those yet, we set them up and load your sites and devices for you. We're a Fortinet and UniFi partner and a Chorus RSP, so we know the firewalls, Wi-Fi and fibre most NZ sites run on. Pulse runs on Mac, iPhone and iPad, and NetBox and Zabbix work in any browser.
