More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"NetMon's best feature is traffic analysis.""It has a very strong artificial intelligence engine.""Visibility is a valuable feature, the ability to see even if the traffic is not going into the firewall""The most valuable feature is the log, which can be analyzed by our SIEM solution.""It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""The protocols with which you see the traffic for a particular website that a client has in their environment, for example, are valuable. We can monitor whether the traffic is up to the mark or whether they need to add more bandwidth. Also, we can see if we're able to get real-time environment data as well. The customization dashboard is really good. LogRhythm NetMon has its own in-built dashboards which are helpful in guiding customization.""The analytics feature is the most valuable feature."

More LogRhythm NetMon Pros →

"The solution is pretty stable.""The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves.""Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures.""Nagios XI helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability.

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"I would like to see better integration with multiple products. Integration is not something that is readily available for most of the products.""Sometimes it's hard to find the network devices' self-audit logs.""The training for this product is not very good and needs to be improved.""Could use a topology diagram which would help get an exact visual.""Some of the automated tasks we can perform on QRadar cannot be performed on LogRhythm because the solution has limitations.""LogRhythm NetMon's pricing model is an area of concern that should be made a little bit cheaper in comparison to the other players in the market currently.""There is an issue with tunneling in relation to how the connectivity is established between the end devices and where NetMon is installed. On the console, I often observe that there's a difference of a few seconds or maybe a minute, and this lag time should not be there."

More LogRhythm NetMon Cons →

"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more.""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.""It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure.""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 does not have SAP monitoring.""The reporting structure could be more streamlined.""We'd like to see more integration capabilities.""Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."

    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 →

    Reviews from Real Users

    Nagios XI stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Several major ones are its integration options and monitoring abilities, as well as its alerting features.

    David P., a senior DevOps engineer at EML Payments Ltd, writes, “We use Nagios as a network discovery tool. We use Nagios to maintain our uptime statistics and to monitor our services. It has allowed us to be much more sophisticated in our monitoring and alerting.”
