Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is the ability to check the availability of the server for network connectivity. Additionally, the interface is good."
"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."
"Other products are good but from the configuration point of view Nagios is really very lightweight. The price is really good in my opinion. Another important thing is that my Nagios engine still works with Dual core 8GB ram for the last 10 years."
"Our customers like that Nagios Core is an open source solution. It can be customized to our customers' specific needs."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
"The solution is quite efficient."
"What I like the most is the bandwidth assessment."
"The monitoring is perfect, showing you the details for the utilization of resources and network bandwidth."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its traffic analysis."
"The dashboard alerts me when a critical device goes off the network."
"For stability, I would give SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer a rating of ten out of ten."
"What my organization likes best about SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is its easy deployment. It's also well-integrated in terms of monitoring because my organization also uses a SolarWinds solution for monitoring. You can connect SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer directly to that monitoring tool to get information. My organization also finds the default graphs that appear before the configuration in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer very useful."
"What people found most valuable in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is its report customization feature."
"The software management tools are very useful for our customers."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"The tool needs to improve the integrations."
"Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI."
"Nagios Core does not have a graphic display."
"The core version is no match for the XI version."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"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."
"The scalability needs improvement, it's not scalable at this time."
"The Atlas module that is used for building the network map is very bad."
"The pricing is expensive."
"As people always complain about the pricing for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer, it's an area for improvement in the solution. People find it expensive. Another area for improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is support, as it could be better."
"I would like to see more artificial intelligence capabilities."
"The problem is that SolarWinds is trying to bolt in too much and that can leave bugs, which you have to then sort out, leaving the product unstable. SolarWinds needs to try and slow down and improve the stability of the product, as opposed to bringing out more and more features."
"One area that we struggle with is the price. Because the price of this solution is so high, we are largely unable to introduce it into the local market, and only the banking sector has the means to afford it."
"The price of the solution is a bit high for our clients. They should consider adjusting their price model."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the traffic generated by the analyzer and the analysis of that traffic."
