"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."
"The product is simple to use."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"The most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."
"The algorithm is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"The GUI is nicer than all the other graphical interfaces out there."
"Macros and the ability to connect it to Google Maps are valuable features."
"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."
"The drafts are easy but what I like about Icinga is that there are many add-ons that you can download."
"The apply rules feature saves a lot of time."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"I like the ability to amend and adjust things really easily, which is useful in a case where you could make it auto-discover and then set a template to say all of these applications or servers under this template have an automatic threshold set that you’d set up manually."
"An affordable solution for small organizations to do basic network monitoring."
"Icinga does the job and is fairly stable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"eG Enterprise's licensing could be cheaper. Even compared to Dynatrace, I think the price is quite expensive considering the APM functionalities, even though they have other benefits such as info monitoring."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"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."
"One thing that Icinga lacks is the capability to create advanced and customized dashboards within the tool itself."
"The tool currently fails to provide notifications to users."
"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."
"Icinga’s automation could be improved."
"At this time, the layout of the website is a bit difficult. It should be more user-friendly for changing the background and logos."
"I think the software is quite good, but we have had problems with getting it to recognize certain areas and amend certain checks, where we needed so we would have to create backend scripts for those checks. Though, being open source, it has the support to create backend scripts, it would be better to have these scripts in-built."
"The solution lacks many features important to higher-level IT management and network support."
