Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"What I like about Nagios Core is that it helps me ensure everything is running smoothly by checking the status of hosts and services."
"The solution is quite efficient."
"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."
"I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"Nagios Core is stable."
"Dashboard provides monitor of total assets."
"It is easy to use in any environment."
"We have found all the features useful. However, the dashboarding and logging have been very helpful. Additionally, the log analysis does a great job."
"Splunk allows us to customize processing and dashboards, which helps us take care of our customers' needs."
"From the class that I took this week, being able to create notable events from whatever you find in the data set is pretty useful."
"We did not encounter any issues with scalability. It is almost seamless to add new index (storage) or search (used to analyze the data) nodes to the cluster."
"You can check up on security from the dashboards."
"It is very simple to tweak or write a small piece of glue code to go ahead and create a new dashboard for a business unit to make near real-time decisions to focus more on other geographies when launching the product."
"With good domain knowledge, one can build almost anything. If you throw in Alert Manager or an integration with ServiceNow. Then, you have your own SIEM"
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through."
"Nagios Core does not have a graphic display."
"It is a bit slow due to latency."
"Nagios Core can improve the graphical interface, it would make things a little easier."
"Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does."
"The tool itself is very difficult to configure. It's great for its number of inputs, for the different types of systems devices, and things that it could collect information from. To actually make good use of it, you need a fairly dedicated team of people that have some reasonably good programming or modeling skills to be able to do the things that you need to do with it. Whereas a lot of the other tools are better packaged for that, and so require a lot less training and a lot less dedication."
"I would like the ability to view logs for specific instances and not have to pull the logs for the entire Cloud environment in Splunk."
"The solution could use a different licensing model."
"Splunk's ability to analyze malicious activities scores an 8 out of 10, but there's room for improvement. By analyzing emerging patterns, Splunk could identify and predict potential threats more effectively."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
"We'd like Splunk to reduce false positives."
"There are a lot of competitive products that are doing better than what Splunk is doing on the analytics side."
"Splunk can be an expensive solution. Technical support could be improved as well."
