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."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"It is easy to implement."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"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 most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"The product's stability could be even better."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"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 product does not have SAP monitoring."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
