Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"The granular access control that it provided so that you could only see devices that were related to what you were working on was great. I couldn't see the entire inventory of devices. I could only see the ones that were related to my work. It has got a very granular access control component."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"The integration point."
"The product's initial setup is easy."
"I would recommend AI capability built-in so it becomes more predictable and we jump ahead of the curve. This is the one really important feature I would really like to see in any product that provides alarms."
"I would like to see them eliminate the Java console. The user interface for this is a Java applet that runs on your desktop, and it is very problematic for us."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"There's a little bit of complexity to the initial install because you're dealing with operating systems. You have to make sure all the prerequisites are done, anti-virus exceptions, etc. Then there's the bringing it up and then there's discovery of the network and setting that up. It takes time."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"Needs better integration with all the other products in the Agile suite of tools; anything they could do to make that less complex, would be great."
"If they could interact with the MIBs of vendors better, and have a lot more pre-loaded ones, that would be amazing for us right now."
"Instana Infrastructure Monitoring needs to support monitoring of the .NET framework since it is one of the areas where the solution currently has shortcomings."
