Pros
"Microsoft Azure Cloud Cost Management is easy to use and we have a lot of insights about all of our goals.""The most valuable feature of Azure Cost Management is its way of segregating accounts based on resources.""Gives visibility into the cost of cloud-based solutions.""Azure Cost Management is user-friendly compared to other competitors.""Microsoft's technical support is good.""Good control features and user interface.""It is a fully scalable product with the potential to enhance our application and increase our servers.

"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool.""The implementation process is very straightforward.""The most valuable feature is the support for monitoring Cisco switches.""The initial setup was not complex.""The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring.""Its overall flexibility is most valuable. When our customers have some custom applications that are not necessarily covered by the community or a standard monitoring tool, we use Zabbix to build our own modules with our own templates. This feature has been useful in using Zabbix for infrastructure and IT monitoring. It has also been useful for industrial equipment monitoring. Zabbix is very lightweight. It is efficient in terms of performance because it doesn't use a lot of resources.""Zabbix is good for discovery.""The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."

Cons
"I would like to have added to Azure Cost Management, drill down features from within the cost analysis reporting.""The solution could use automatic emailing. That would help improve the product a lot, at least for our purposes.""It would be nice if they could introduce connections to other clouds. It would be good to connect to AWS and Oracle cloud.""The UI is complex, and it should be less so.""The product's licensing cost could be improved.""Optimization and scalability could be increased.""It can be difficult to determine the cost associated with certain resources as it relies on a tagging progress. This means we need to drill down billing reports to highlight and fix missing tags.""What would make Azure Cost Management better is a more flexible GUI that would allow users to provide more input. Another area for improvement in the solution is its reporting. The report it provides should be easy to understand."

More Azure Cost Management Cons →

"There are a lot of areas for improvement, specifically in the dashboards and reports functionalities.""Zabbix claims that there is an auto-discovery process but my team member was facing difficulty and was told that it's not really automatic, and there are some manual steps.""The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have.""I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana.""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.""The user web interface is a little bit too basic, we need to link Zabbix to Grafana to have more options, such as graphs and charts. The interface needs to be improved. Additionally, there could be better integration with Grafana API.""The user interface could be better.""An area for improvement would be the ease of doing aggregation from the value or different devices."

    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 →
