Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"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."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"The analysis is very fast."
"Being an application-based firewall, this is one of the critical focus factors along with the threat prevention services it provides."
"The solution is easy to use and the Panorama feature is good. The software management or the malware blocking and some authentication management system are good."
"The reporting feature helps our performance."
"We get support in the free version."
"I love the idea of Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It's more geared toward preventing malware. If someone's laptop or phone is malware-infected, the tool prevents it from uploading valuable corporate data outside the corporate network. That's what I love about Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It stops malware in its tracks."
"The most effective feature of WildFire for threat analysis is its collaboration with other security profiles on our Palo Alto firewall."
"Using WildFire has reduced the number of viruses and the amount of malware that comes into our system, which means that I don't have to rely on the end-users to identify it."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"I would like to be able to extend it to all of our data centers, whether they are in the cloud or not. It would be helpful if I could connect everywhere."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"The way Nagios displays information isn't easy for a new user to understand. It's not intuitive enough. You need to read some tutorials or be trained to understand what it's displaying. Also, I think it needs more features to improve network visibility because there are some things you can't detect."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"Nagios XI can improve network and hardware monitoring, these parameters should be simplified to allow usage for monitoring. Additionally, if there was automatic reporting it would be helpful."
"The price could be better."
"It's not really their problem, it's a problem across the board. There will always be problems with interrupted traffic. We have to set it up where we're playing a middle man game where we're stripping it out, looking at it, and then putting it back together and sending it on its way. That requires CPU cycles. And there's some overhead with that."
"They provide a medium level of technical support."
"The cyber security visibility and forensics features to receive more information about incidents could improve in Palo Alto Networks WildFire."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
"Any enhancements should likely be focused on the firewall appliance to further strengthen overall security capabilities, such as refining app and user identity features."
"The only complaint that we receive from our customers is in regards to the price."
"The free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
