Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"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 dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"The most valuable features of this solution are sandbox capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks WildFire is its ability to adapt to environments and its robustness."
"The way that the solution quickly updates to adjust to threats is the solution's most valuable aspect. When there's a security attack, within five minutes, all Wildfire subscribers have access to updates so that all systems will be safe. Its threat prevention is way better than other vendor products."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is how it keeps up-to-date with viruses."
"It helps us when segmenting and securing the network and all sort of technologies, all sort of next generation needs. It's next generation phases of firewall like anti-virus, sandboxing, wifi, and VPN."
"We have found that Palo Alto Networks WildFire is scalable. We currently have six thousand users for the product."
"For example, if a security Intel threat talks about an IOC. We can then go to our MSP and say, "Is there a signature for this particular type of malware that just came out?" And if they'll say yes, then we'll say, "Okay. Does it apply to these firewalls? And have we seen any hits on it?" There's absolutely value in it."
"The most effective feature of WildFire for threat analysis is its collaboration with other security profiles on our Palo Alto firewall."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"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."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"The deployment model could be better."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
"In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release of Palo Alto Networks WildFire, each release is based on malware that has been identified. The key problem is an average of six months from the time malware is written to the time it's discovered and a signature is created for it. The only advice that I can give is for them to shorten that timeframe. I don't know how they would do it, but if they shorten that, for example, cut it in half, they'll make themselves more famous."
"The price could be better."
"I think it would be nice for Palo Alto to work without the connection to the cloud. It is 100% powerful when connected to the cloud. But, if you disconnect from the cloud, you only get 40-50% power."
"They can keep on doing more updates. As new malware and viruses are coming out, they can make sure that WildFire is up to date."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
