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."
"Dashboard provides monitor of total assets."
"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 application performance monitoring feature is valuable."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them."
"Our customers like that Nagios Core is an open source solution. It can be customized to our customers' specific needs."
"What I like about Nagios Core is that it helps me ensure everything is running smoothly by checking the status of hosts and services."
"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."
"The logs on the solution are excellent."
"Splunk's advantage is its search capability. Its search is notably faster. With Splunk, I can search easily on keywords. That is great."
"We primarily use it to correlate logs throughout the enterprise for both searching and use in investigations."
"Its dashboard is valuable. If you have a good knowledge of how to create a dashboard, you can create any dashboard related to cybersecurity. If fine-tuned, the alarms that are triggered for instant review are also very valuable and useful."
"The correlation searches are most valuable just because we are able to do things like RBA."
"The flexibility of the solution is quite good."
"The solution has made us more secure."
"The feature that I have found most valuable with Splunk is the ability to sift through a bunch of data very quickly."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Nagios Core does not have a graphic display."
"The mapping is a little hard."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"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."
"Nagios Core can improve the graphical interface, it would make things a little easier."
"Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI."
"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."
"It is a bit slow due to latency."
"When we do a rollout from the server or host or anything, we'd like to see more automation. It would save us time."
"The UI could be better. This is applicable to Splunk in general. I know that a lot of people who get their hands on Splunk are hesitant to use it just because they find it overwhelming. There are a lot of options."
"The UI can be improved. Dashboards and reports can be better in terms of graphics."
"Given the ever-increasing number of threats, I would like Splunk to update its threat signatures more frequently."
"It would be nice if Splunk reduced the cost of training. Their training sessions are way too costly."
"I feel the solution to be too slow."
"I would like Splunk to add more integration. QRadar has many indications with more products than Splunk."
"The only improvement I am expecting is the cost of the licensing. Clients are going to other solutions just because of the cost."
