Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring."
"I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them."
"Nagios Core is stable."
"Provides timely notifications."
"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"The most valuable feature depends on the project. It's great if you need to check to ensure a service is running 24/7. I can use the full solution for free, and it's flexible. If I need to add a dashboard, I can integrate it with Nagios. Cloud synchronization is wonderful."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"The real-time troubleshooting and application segregation that you can do within it."
"The technical support is really good. They will go above and beyond, if you are running into a problem. You can go to a sales engineer, who will engage technical support to help you out."
"The ability to troubleshoot customers' connectivity has been very beneficial."
"When we have mobile operators who are signal partners, where one is the roaming host and another is the roamer, we are able to see their traffic. Their packets are able to detect if any faults to develop, and at what point they fail."
"We use it for monitoring whenever we update a new circuit or site."
"It helps us to assist our customers to isolate problems. If it is us who is having the problem, then we can use it to streamline the process."
"It is very rock solid. We hardly have any hardware issues."
"It has cut our troubleshooting down by days. Once we have a product in place, we show people examples of how it can streamline their troubleshooting process."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."
"I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."
"The tool needs to improve the integrations."
"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."
"Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"Nagios Core does not have a graphic display."
"The mapping is a little hard."
"The single pane of glass feed still needs work."
"The technology goes end-of-life on us every year, which is why I am looking forward to vSTREAM. I don't like when devices go end-of-life on us so quickly. If we can get more of an advanced notice of when an end-of-life is brought up, because our certification process within the organization takes a while."
"Being able to manage the packet flow switches in nGeniusONE would be great."
"The NetFlow Collectors could handle more flows per minute."
"Only problems that we have had are fiber issues going into the TAPs or vSTREAMs, which are usually local site issues."
"I would like to see an improved level of stitching between IPs."
"We don't use the single pane of glass view, even though we own it."
"I'd like them to make the product more user-friendly."
