Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."
"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"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 helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability. We have multiple servers to monitor databases, availability of servers, and ping."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"I believe the ease of setup and use, including everything, from the initial installation to the discovery of devices is the most valuable."
"Network performance is the main issue clients are facing. SolarWinds checks if a node is down, and we can set thresholds for performance metrics. For example, we set it up to get an alert automatically if a value is over 80 percent. It has a full dashboard that covers CP, hard disk, and node monitoring."
"Can easily be interconnected with other management systems."
"From web interfaces to custom monitors and alarms, this product has a high level of flexibility that can be molded to suit your business needs, regardless of the size of your organization."
"The product is lightweight in terms of memory use, requiring only 10 megabytes or less."
"It's easy to understand, even if you are not too technical."
"We have configured multiple alerts for our network devices, including routers and switches, so that we are notified if any interface goes down."
"The most valuable features in SolarWinds NPM are the network search and diagnostic tools."
"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"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 pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
"Technical support can be slow to respond."
"I think Solar Winds NPM needs to create a profile with documentation responsibility."
"GUI needs improvement with a more graphical dashboard."
"The aesthetic widgets should be dynamic widgets, so the customization can be even more customizable."
"The scalability can be better."
"There needs to be more integration of widgets, especially for reporting purposes."
"A feature I would ask for is for them to have this solution available for Linux systems instead of Windows."
"Application Performance Monitoring should be included in this solution."
