Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution.""The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable.""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."

More Dell CloudIQ Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the integration with various alert-generating systems because you might have synthetic alerts or monitoring alerts for volume drops.""Provided up to a 90% noise reduction in some our noisy monitoring tools.""The ability to manipulate events via JavaScript getting the exact data that we want."

More Evanios Pros →

"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent.""The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it.""Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature.""I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies.""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.""This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company.""Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product.""The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."

More Nagios XI Pros →

Cons
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved.""PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting.""The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved.""Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell.""In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."

More Dell CloudIQ Cons →

"We would like the ability to have an "exit" option for events when they are being processed.""The price could be cheaper.""More complex correlation rules would be nice. The ability to clearly define a parent event in a correlation and nested correlations, specifically."

More Evanios Cons →

"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered.""The product does not have SAP monitoring.""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 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.""Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7.""Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things.""We'd like to see more integration capabilities.""The installation and monitoring need improvement."

    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 →

    Overview

    CloudIQ is a no cost Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering that provides a simple monitoring interface for an unlimited number of Unity systems. CloudIQ accesses data in near real time to enable monitoring and troubleshooting for Unity systems.

    A key component of the Event Management process is consolidation of events from across the enterprise. By consolidating disparate events into a single solution, they can be de-duplicated and correlated. For example, network failure events can be correlated with system failures, and then prioritized based on service impact.

    Reduce the noise

    Evanios Integrations allows filtering and processing close to the event source, keeping the weight off of the ServiceNow system for increased performance. Filters are easily configured. EVA, the Evanios consolidation point also has built in event flood control features, to protect against unexpected event storms which can quickly overload traditional integrations.

    Nagios XI provides monitoring of all mission-critical infrastructure components, including applications, services, operating systems, network protocols, systems metrics, and network infrastructure. Third-party add-ons provide tools for monitoring virtually all in-house and external applications, services, and systems.

    Nagios XI uses a powerful Core 4 monitoring engine that provides users with the highest levels of server monitoring performance. This high degree of performance enables nearly limitless scalability and monitoring powers.

    With Nagios XI, stakeholders can check up on their infrastructure status using the role-based web interface. Sophisticated dashboards enable access to monitoring information and third-party data.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Nagios XI stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Several major ones are its integration options and monitoring abilities, as well as its alerting features.

    David P., a senior DevOps engineer at EML Payments Ltd, writes, “We use Nagios as a network discovery tool. We use Nagios to maintain our uptime statistics and to monitor our services. It has allowed us to be much more sophisticated in our monitoring and alerting.”

    An IT-OSS manager at a comms service provider notes, “Nagios XI has a custom API feature, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature.”
