Pros
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"Their discovery is very quick and they have a CSV file upload mechanism that allows you to onboard five thousand devices a day.""The most valuable feature is alerting. We get email alerts when a link is down that tell us which device is having a problem.""The backup, restore, and comparison features are all good.""Our response time is within 30 minutes for any support. This solution provides alerts immediately, so we are within our SLA, giving efficiency to our support.""The role-based dashboards provide data points and charts and topology diagrams in a single window. It's like a spider web, where the application, connectivity, and everything is defined for each user of those applications.""We use the solution to automatically trigger processes to help us resolve issues. The whole IT process has been automated, such as trying to map all the users and the escalation process. So, if any issue happens, we get an SMS and WhatsApp of the report. If there is a critical issue this has to be sorted out, like the entire data center being down, then there is an alarm.""The feature that I like the most and the best part is the customization.""It is a stable product. After the initial configuration, you don't have to tweak it much. All systems of Everest IMS work perfectly."

More Infraon IMS Pros →

"Nagios XI helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability. We have multiple servers to monitor databases, availability of servers, and ping.""The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need.""The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers.""The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful.""It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring.""Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature.""Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want.""The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"We have enquired if there are any possibilities of monitoring non-IPBS devices.""I would like to have the option to add a new device or meet with the next release. Right now, it needs to be done from the backend which results in a heavy reliance on R&D.""This solution is available in SaaS. The reason why we have not gone to SaaS is they do not have a country-specific separation of assets. There are GDPR and other requirements that might require country-specific sensitive information to be filtered as well as other things that need to be taken care of. Normally, if we need to do any compliance, like ISO27000 compliance, they don't have such a report within their system. This kind of report is missing from their SaaS. That is one of the reasons that we have gone to the on-prem version, where I am assured that my data is secure.""There might be some features in other products that are currently not there in Everest IMS and can be included. I have not yet compared it with any other product.""The graphical view of the topology does not show us all of the connectivity in our network, which is something that could be improved.""Email support is a bit slow. Once you drop an email, it takes time.""The GUI is in need of improvement. It is not drag-and-drop or easy to use.""I would like to see an integrated view of Infraon IMS and Infraon Desk. It would be very helpful if that were integrated into the solution."

More Infraon IMS Cons →

"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple.""The installation and monitoring need improvement.""Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7.""I would like to be able to extend it to all of our data centers, whether they are in the cloud or not. It would be helpful if I could connect everywhere.""The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module.""Open-source software is usually not user-friendly.""I would like to see support for notification via SMS.""The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "We pay for a number of devices on the accounts and since it is on-premises, we pay the maintenance charges for the year."
  • "The pricing is reasonable, given the features that they provide."
  • "The cost model is within our budget. I have less than 180 critical assets, but the moment that I have 1,000 assets, then the license model is totally different. I don't know whether they are capable of handling that kind of a load. They could revisit the licensing model."
  • "If you are looking for the best product with the best price, Infraon is the best product. We evaluated five to six products and finally felt Infraon was better because of the pricing model, especially because it was more flexible."
  • "Licensing is calculated on a per-user basis."
  • "I think that the pricing for this solution is reasonable and varies by number of devices."
  • More Infraon IMS Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is really cost efficient. The licensing is perpetual and can be renewed very easily."
  • "You can grow into the higher-priced scale as they learn how to utilize the features for Nagios XI."
  • "For the cost of the commercial product and support, and taking into account the open source characteristics of it, I believe it is difficult to a better value."
  • "We are using the free version of this solution."
  • "This solution is very expensive, at approximately $5,000 USD when I purchased it, which is why I haven't upgraded my version in several years."
  • "The licensing fees for this solution are approximately $3,000 USD per year."
  • "The pricing is high with separate licensing for the product and support."
  • "Nagios Core does not have any payment, but Nagios XI requires payment for the license."

    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 →
