"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to."
"Dashboard provides monitor of total assets."
"We use the product to monitor server applications."
"Key features include the GUI interface, its notification capabilities, and the real-time reporting."
"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."
"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
"I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring."
"What I like about Nagios Core is that it helps me ensure everything is running smoothly by checking the status of hosts and services."
"NetBrain is a very simple tool."
"This product has good network monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities."
"Chain management is a good feature. I don't get it on other solutions."
"A reliable, time-saving tool for providing accurate layer 2 and layer 3 network mappings."
"Enables maps to be drawn out."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Making it a little easier to configure and set up from the start would help. There are multiple layers that you have to wade through to be able to set it up, to do it the right way, and to get it to do what you want it to do."
"It is a bit slow due to latency."
"It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through."
"Nagios Core can improve the graphical interface, it would make things a little easier."
"We're using the free version, which limits us in terms of the things that we can do. If we had the paid version, a lot of our issues would probably go away. For example, we can't isolate instances that are being built or updated with the production ones. When they're being built, on Nagios, they're showing in red. It'd be nice to be able to partition those off until they're all green, and then we can bring them into the environment. This is probably because we've got the free version and not the paid version. If we went for the paid version, it would probably allow us to do exactly what we want to or remove the restrictions that we have, but if we are able to isolate instances in the free version, it would make life much easier."
"The mapping is a little hard."
"Nagios Core does not have a graphic display."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"Support needs to improve for the installed product and some of the reporting could be more flexible to provide more complete cataloging."
"The IP interface brief isn't consistent."
"Each device needs to be configured to allow NetBrain to poll for the information it needs, which can be very time-consuming for a large network."
"The solution could integrate more automation."
"It would be nice if the setup was a little simpler. Also, if the solution could provide more training materials for new people coming into our company so they can quickly learn how to use the functionalities."
