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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"We were able to standardize the internal processes across all internal departments, resulting in almost an elimination of non-standard process flows through our organization."
"It helps our NetOps group actually handle alarms in a way that lets them see the bigger picture of those alarms, and how they might affect our services. It helps us communicate information about the network state better to services that might be impacted by a specific network condition."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"Spectrum is great for root cause analysis. It has excellent correlation event management. Spectrum's stability and scalability are also amazing."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"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 dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"The PNP4Nagios plugin not working easily with XI is an issue for me, because some open source monitoring plugins do not work out of the box. But in the end, you learn to live with it."
"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."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"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."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
