Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The product's initial setup is easy."

"It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"Key features include the GUI interface, its notification capabilities, and the real-time reporting."
"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."
"What I like about Nagios Core is that it helps me ensure everything is running smoothly by checking the status of hosts and services."
"It has made the life of the network operations staff more proactive in managing the resources of the infrastructure. It prevents disasters long before they can take place."
"I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring."
"Instana Infrastructure Monitoring needs to support monitoring of the .NET framework since it is one of the areas where the solution currently has shortcomings."
"It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through."
"Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI."
"The scalability needs improvement, it's not scalable at this time."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"The tool needs to improve the integrations."
