Pros
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring.""The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management.""NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked.""The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good.""It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently.""The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates.""It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it.""The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."

More NinjaOne Pros →

"One of its valuable features is the fact that it handles multiple operating systems... And I like the fact that it tells me when things are about to fall over, which means I can preempt it and not have to wake up at three in the morning to fix it.""The initial setup was easy. We didn't have any issues with the process and everything rolled out smoothly.""The alerting is the most valuable feature. I also like the iPhone app. I get alerts in an email on the iPhone app.""The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is the different monitoring probes available.""The remote probes are very useful. They allow us to provide a reference across different areas in the network. In trying to localize issues, that's very useful.""PRTG Network Monitor is a very stable product.""It is a very stable solution. There are no bugs, glitches and we have not experienced any crashing.""The real-time monitoring and alerting are its most valuable features."

More PRTG Network Monitor Pros →

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs.""The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used.""It can have more integrations with third-party providers, such as Deep Instinct. They do partner with certain antivirus or remote access tool partners, but they can increase their portfolio to have more choices.""I wish that they integrated it with more antivirus solutions. Currently, they only push Defender, but it doesn't really have integration with SentinelOne. It also didn't integrate with Trend Micro, which we were using previously. I would also like to have more control from the mobile app. As of now, I am able to see some performance values, but I can't see, for example, disk activity or disk performance values. If they can improve their app a little bit, it would help greatly. They can also improve the tech interface. If I assign certain techs to a bunch of specific machines, they only get those alerts that they're assigned to.""The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best.""I want NinjaOne to improve the reports.""The reporting is lackluster. NinjaOne is great for maintaining systems, but it's hard to use it to understand the state that systems are in without going in and mining the information myself. I rate the reporting two out of 10.""NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement."

More NinjaOne Cons →

"When using PRTG Network Monitor it is beneficial if you have prior experience with it, the user interface could improve.""This solution is a good product so far, but I haven't been using it long enough to know how it could be improved.""The automation should be improved.""The Desktop app is good but it can be really sluggish at times, especially when you're editing different elements.""PRTG Network Monitor should improve the NetFlow dashboard, there is no flexibility, and the NetFlow is not meeting the business needs. Additionally, they are missing part of the configuration management.""PRTG Network Monitor can improve by adding prevention and detection features.""There seems to be a big jump from the basic scan to the really thorough scan. There is a big jump in the quantity of sensors it uses for certain things. One minute you might get ten and then the next you get 200. There seems to be a big jump between the two at times.""With custom sensors, there is a lot of work which needs to be done in the background, just for it to be tailor-made for the specific thing that we are actually monitoring. We take a lot of time with the custom sensors. I would like to see the customer sensor be more robust and a bit more varied."

    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 →
