Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The RFS portion of the solution is the product's most valuable feature.""The solution is absolutely scalable. If an organization needs to expand it out they definitely can.""You can develop your own apps within Loom, and they can be configured very simply.""What I like best about Loom Systems is that you can use it for infrastructure monitoring. I also like that it's a flexible solution."

More Loom Systems Pros →

"The basic setup is very easy.""The initial setup was not complex.""Our customers also like that they don't have to use multiple modules. Micro Focus and major vendors typically require you to buy several modules and plugins. Our customers do not like that. We offer them a single product for all their monitoring needs.""I have found that the reporting feature in Zabbix is most valuable. Additionally, the solution has given us bandwidth options, we are able to see where problems are. For example, we noticed a problem that occurred because of a bad interface going in the wireless VLAN.""Zabbix can use old data to current data to set the threshold. We can use previous data to set the threshold.""There is less computing power needed for scaling.""Zabbix is quite stable once it is set up. We haven't had any post-setup issues.""Health and communication links availability."

Cons
"The reporting is a bit weak. They should work to improve this aspect of the product.""What's lacking in Loom Systems is the level of priority for each incident. For example, after implementation and there was a huge impact on the client, and the client comes back to you and says that there's an incident, that there needs to be an immediate resolution for it, you'll see severity one, severity two, etc., in Loom Systems, rather than priority levels. It would be better if the incidents can be defined as low priority, medium priority, or high priority.""The discovery and mapping still takes a lot of human intervention, it's quite resource heavy,""The change management within the solution needs to be improved. There needs to be more process automation."

More Loom Systems Cons →

"There are a lot of areas for improvement, specifically in the dashboards and reports functionalities.""Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet.""The solution needs to add remote features.""​I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes.​""Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need.""Zabbix can use better documentation and support for troubleshooting.""It could be more stable.""The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."

    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 →
