We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud.""The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable.""Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good.""Has really nice roll-up dashboards.""Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."

"The solution allows for good integration with other products.""The features I found most valuable are the user interface and a wide range of network devices that are easy to configure.""The flexibility of this solution is amazing.""It is a great product. The SNMP protocol tracking feature is good. I really like how it tracks SNMP. The alerts are also great.""We detect problems before the customer does and before it actually happens using the predictive functions in Zabbix.""In terms of customization and integration, we have more flexibility. We can automate configurations, define deletion rules, and customize based on the needs. The client interface allows for further configuration, making it quite comprehensive.""I really enjoy network traffic triggers that allow us to check traffic threshold from ISP.""Its overall flexibility is most valuable. When our customers have some custom applications that are not necessarily covered by the community or a standard monitoring tool, we use Zabbix to build our own modules with our own templates. This feature has been useful in using Zabbix for infrastructure and IT monitoring. It has also been useful for industrial equipment monitoring. Zabbix is very lightweight. It is efficient in terms of performance because it doesn't use a lot of resources."

Cons
"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell.""PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting.""The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved.""Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved.""In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."

More Dell CloudIQ Cons →

"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee.""The user interface could be better.""The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional.""Outside of the normal standard monitoring, I would like to extend patching, importing patching, and supporting patching for Windows Servers.""In terms of user-friendliness, large maps could be more interactive. We should be able to click on some areas and move some objects. It would make it simpler to see things while analyzing some dedicated parameters.""Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue.""When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it.""Zabbix could improve when it comes to large-scale use cases. Additionally, the inventory could be better when connecting to other solutions, such as ServiceNow. There show to be better integration with other platforms and storage."

    I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want using these, but they require quite some expertise before you can use them. Then there are the ones that are not open source, the enterprise softwares and cost you some money, but on the other hand, they are extremely easy to set-up and learn. You can have them up and running in a matter of minutes. And then there are those which are completely cloud based. They can be free of cost or charge some money depending on the software. The good thing about these is that you don’t have to install any extra software, and it can be managed completely online but then again these have limited features and you cannot exploit them to the full extent as you can do with the open-source and to some extent the enterprise software, so I won’t suggest you to use these, because these are generally not the complete solutions and require other support software to achieve the same. Below I have listed the outstanding pros and cons of the various Network analyzers that you can look into Nagios Pros: Nagios offers an extensive set of collector plug-ins that allows users to gather performance and availability data from a broad range of operating systems, including  Windows and Netware Nagios… Read more →

    Top Answer:We use Zabbix to monitor our organization's IT infrastructure and workstations. We don't use Microsoft Intune since it's expensive. The tool's real-time alerting system has proved crucial for us… more »
    Top Answer:In the next release, I'm hoping for features targeted towards larger users with more customizable options. Despite this, I think pre-canned reports that can be used straight out of the box would be… more »
