Pros

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."

More ManageEngine OpManager Pros →

"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable.""Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens.""The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system.""The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is it allows us to develop and add as many plugins as we want.""We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script.""The notifications are definitely one of the most valuable features of Nagios Core. We know what to look for and what to expect when things are down.""The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner.""Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great.""Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available.""The solution's reports need to include the number of applications consumed.""The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs.""ManageEngine OpManager could improve by having a better cloud presence.""We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation.""The solution is a bit difficult to configure. There are quite a number of configurations and plugins that you must handle early in the process.""We have been facing an issue since last year when a lot of our users started to work from home through their mobiles or computers. We are having trouble reaching these devices. We are now planning to publish our instance to the cloud so that we can reach these devices. Its performance should be improved in terms of the discovery of the devices. I would like to feel confident with the discovery that this solution does. For example, on my dashboard, I would like to be able to view a list of all devices seen on a specific server. At present, it is difficult to find such information. This would be an excellent feature to have."

"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers.""We're using the free version, which limits us in terms of the things that we can do. If we had the paid version, a lot of our issues would probably go away. For example, we can't isolate instances that are being built or updated with the production ones. When they're being built, on Nagios, they're showing in red. It'd be nice to be able to partition those off until they're all green, and then we can bring them into the environment. This is probably because we've got the free version and not the paid version. If we went for the paid version, it would probably allow us to do exactly what we want to or remove the restrictions that we have, but if we are able to isolate instances in the free version, it would make life much easier.""Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available.""Making it a little easier to configure and set up from the start would help. There are multiple layers that you have to wade through to be able to set it up, to do it the right way, and to get it to do what you want it to do.""Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI.""It is a bit slow due to latency.""It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through.""I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."
