More Instana Infrastructure Monitoring Cons →

"WhatsUp Gold should work on real-time monitoring and configuration management. If they succeed in doing this, the solution will cover all the network troubleshooting aspects and will be a benefit.""I think there are a few bugs now. Although they give some resolution for this, we cannot share the network remotely because of our company policy.""You have to invest a few days to become an expert in this solution.""The interface needs some work.""The new release cadence needs to be improved. It takes a while for them to add new features and functionality. There should be a quicker turnaround with new versions.""Adding on services increases the cost and on the version we have there is no option for ATM monitoring.""The licensing model could be improved. Right now, the levels are too far apart. This causes the solution to be more expensive than it needs to be.""I would like to see better integration with switches so that you can see what is connected to each port, what the traffic is, and have a network map automatically generated."
