Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"Nagios allows us to configure any device so that we can send pager alerts when people don't have access to emails. It also allows us to schedule downtime and maintenance."
"The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios XI is customization. We can customize based on our requirements. We can do modifications and implement a lot of scripts. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"Stability is never a concern."
"The scalability is acceptable."
"Remote access is excellent."
"The most valuable features of Palo Alto Networks WildFire are the good URL and file analysis that uses artificial intelligence. It has different interfaces, such as rest, SMTP protocol, and HTTPS. The Security incidents and event management are very good. Additionally, there are many file types that are supported and there is no limit to the number of files it can handle simultaneously. It integrates well with SIEM solutions."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we never faced any issues."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"What I like about Palo Alto is that it is a complete product, with everything in it."
"My primary use case for this solution is for a secure gateway."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"We often need to develop custom plugins to get Nagios to work the way we want it to work because the features we need are not always available in Nagios."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
"The deployment model could be better."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
"The threat intelligence that we receiving in the reporting was not as expected. We were expecting more. Additionally, we should be able to whitelist a specific file based on a variety of attributes."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"The VPN and decryption need improvement."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
"It's not really their problem, it's a problem across the board. There will always be problems with interrupted traffic. We have to set it up where we're playing a middle man game where we're stripping it out, looking at it, and then putting it back together and sending it on its way. That requires CPU cycles. And there's some overhead with that."
