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 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.""The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable.""Has really nice roll-up dashboards."

"We have found the solution to be stable.""An affordable solution for small organizations to do basic network monitoring.""Icinga has multiple automation and integration features. There is an API for everything and a web UI for configurations. The APIs enable you to automate tasks in Icinga. We can also use plugins to talk to the API. The Icinga Director talks to a database in the background, and you can import settings from the CMDB to all systems in Icinga.""The value of Icinga is that it has hundreds of plugins, so it's really easy to monitor pretty much anything.""The best thing about the solution is how it highlights errors, the issues, and what needs my attention. The solution directs me to areas that I should look for first.""It is really easy in Icinga to create your own plugin and integrate it without any fuss. And it works just perfectly fine.""The drafts are easy but what I like about Icinga is that there are many add-ons that you can download.""There's a module called Icinga Director, which helps us configure the product using an intuitive interface through clicks instead of creating a text configuration. It's very helpful for us."

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

More Dell CloudIQ Cons →

"The user interface should be improved.""We have found some problems with Nagios, and support isn't very responsive.""Icinga is a complex solution that's hard to learn. It's a powerful product for monitoring, but new users will have a hard time figuring out what to do.""The installation and configuration are very complex.""At this time, the layout of the website is a bit difficult. It should be more user-friendly for changing the background and logos.""In general, the product does not look good. However, it does what it is supposed to do. So, the improvements should focus on usability and UI.""The tool currently fails to provide notifications to users.""It needs Trap SNMP. I saw the documentation for Zabbix, that it has its own built-in product which handles SNMP traps, and there's nothing similar in Icinga or Nagios. I think this feature is most important for me."
