Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"You want to monitor a specific metric that nobody else has? You can do it even with the most basic of scripting skills, and you can always share it with the vast community of Nagios Exchange."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"The scalability of the solution is amazing because it can collect a lot of data and you can have your own structure to monitor this data."
"The most valuable feature is the log aggregation, being able to scan through all of the logs."
"It allows us to digest the information, the data, the different data streams, so we can make decisions based upon information that we receive, and it is pretty robust."
"The solution is very fast and succinct."
"It is quite extensible. It is a platform that we can build our use instead of each case instead of each case being limited or restricted to each capability. This is probably the best feature."
"I like Splunk's data aggregation and search capabilities."
"It's the completeness of the solution that we like the most."
"We can automatically suspend or terminate suspicious sessions."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"We were inundated with the amount of alerts and alarms that we could get out of it. It is also a resource hog and we didn't have the resources to support it on-prem so we're taking it offline now."
"I would like to see future development in terms of ML (Machine Learning)."
"On-premises scaling of the solution is a bit more limited than it is on the cloud."
"The user experience could be improved."
"On the technical side, it would be nice to see aspects of the recent acquisition of Phantom make it into the core Splunk Enterprise, not just become a part of the premium Enterprise Security."
"If you monitor too much, you can lose performance on your systems."
"I would like additional features in different programming models with the support for writing queries in SQL or other languages, such as C#, Java, or some other type of query definitions."
"The solution could improve by increasing the performance. We have run into problems when large amounts of data are processed."
