Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We liked the built-in calculation of health scores.""The KPS used to automate the integration policy is the most valuable feature of Splunk ITSI.""Splunk ITSI helps us secure our environment by allowing us to create automatons that run when alerts are triggered.""One of the excellent features is the service analyzer, which is truly impressive.""It's scalable and expands well.""ITSI includes a feature called a glass table.""The flexibility to develop and consolidate many solutions into one platform is great.""We save substantial time on monitoring tasks because we don't have to search for what we need. Everything is packed, so you can drill down to the end values by just doing the kit. We don't spend a lot of time on this. Splunk ITSI is easy to use and not time-consuming."

More Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) Pros →

"Zabbix is scalable.""Zabbix is good for discovery.""We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications.""It's a flexible solution.""The solution is stable.""Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage.""We are able to monitor our virtual infrastructure, virtual machines, windows servers, databases, and the network using a simple network management protocol. We are able to pull almost all the metrics that we want, receive notifications, and have them integrate with telegrams for certain devices that are critical, such as UPSs.""The integration capabilities and APIs are the best part."

Cons
"The data recovery has room for improvement.""ITSI could benefit from a security model that would allow operations team members to get involved in model building, KPI implementation, and model maintenance, while maintaining appropriate segregation of duties.""Splunk ITSI consumes a lot of CPU resources.""Splunk ITSI generates numerous false positives and has the potential for enhancement.""We experience occasional delays in receiving solutions from Splunk technical support. Splunk's support for P3 cases seems inadequate, as they frequently switch support personnel. For instance, in a single P3 case, we had three different technical support representatives assigned. We were ultimately forced to escalate the issue to our account manager to get it resolved. In essence, we never receive complete support from a single point of contact; instead, the support team keeps changing, necessitating us to explain the problem from scratch each time.""If the product had some prebuilt machine learning features, it would add value to our use cases.""The solution should integrate more features in NEAP.""Splunk ITSI lacks out-of-the-box solutions for enterprise users."

More Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) Cons →

"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.""It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages.""To improve Zabbix, adding more features to support the monitoring of modern workloads like containers would be beneficial.""If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee.""Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue.""There are not too much documentation or manuals. We found the tutorials very easy to understand but do not go deep enough in the use of Zabbix. We need more manuals, proper use, documentation, etc.""We would like to see the addition of automatic push functionality to this product. This would save time when monitoring our servers and networks as, at present, we have to manually install the Zabbix agent on any hardware to be monitored.""There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."

    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 →
