Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The value of Icinga is that it has hundreds of plugins, so it's really easy to monitor pretty much anything."
"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."
"Icinga does the job and is fairly stable."
"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."
"This solution has a self-healing handler where if the service is down, it is automatically restarted."
"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."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"The power flow is great."
"It is simple."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"At this time, the layout of the website is a bit difficult. It should be more user-friendly for changing the background and logos."
"The user interface should be improved."
"One of the areas that are frustrating is remote monitoring for more than one machine."
"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."
"The installation and configuration are very complex."
"Icinga’s automation could be improved."
"The solution lacks many features important to higher-level IT management and network support."
"The tool currently fails to provide notifications to users."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"They need a little more self-service."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
