The most common questions and misconceptions about Onum

What is Onum?

Onum is the industry’s only truly agnostic data observability platform, enabling you to seamlessly integrate your existing IT stack to gain deep insights from any type of data, using any format, from any source. Onum helps you turn the noise of your vast amounts of data into something meaningful by empowering you with the context you require to make the most informed decisions. The Onum Platform gathers all data as close as possible to where it’s generated, and then observes it as it traverses the wire for real-time discoveries of any abnormalities ― enabling you to take decisive action to prevent network downtime, payment system failures, malware infections, and more. It then observes and optimizes all data, and then routes it in real time to the appropriate destinations for specialized analysis or storage while transforming it into the appropriate formats to match the requirements of each receiving tool to make it more actionable.

What integrations does Onum suppport?

Onum unifies data across every aspect of the hybrid network ― including physical on-premises assets and IoT devices. Onum also supports all major standards and seamlessly integrates with any desired destination.

How much coding will be required to deploy, configure, and manage Onum?

Absolutely none. Onum is built on a zero-code open platform, enabling you to easily configure listeners and data sinks, define and manage data pipelines, monitor performance, and view alerts using an intuitive graphical user interface.

Do I have to develop all data flows myself?

No. Onum understands that organizations lack the time and bandwidth to develop every data flow by hand. That’s why we’ve developed the Onum Marketplace, which further extends the platform’s out-of-the-box capabilities by providing access to shared data flows, community tools, and value-add modules that have been posted by Onum, as well as other Onum customers and partners. Most of these will be offered free of charge; for others, the owner may charge a nominal fee.

Can the Onum Platform scale as my needs grow?

Yes. The Onum Platform is highly scalable. Simply add listeners and managers to wherever you want to gather more data and they will interface with the Onum Cloud.

Will Onum add any latency to my network?

No. The Onum Platform was engineered for speed, efficiency, and scalability in modern hybrid environments. Onum’s architecture eliminates the latency that plagues similar products, processing 5X the number of events per second as the closest competitor using the same hardware. In addition to this increased speed, Onum requires a mere fraction of the infrastructure to run, resulting in a total of 122 times greater efficiency ― leading to significant CAPEX and OPEX savings.

Is Artificial Intelligence available in Onum?

Onum supports AI within Pipelines with the Pipeline Assistant and the AI actions group.
