Pros
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work.""It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to.""Other products are good but from the configuration point of view Nagios is really very lightweight. The price is really good in my opinion. Another important thing is that my Nagios engine still works with Dual core 8GB ram for the last 10 years.""Key features include the GUI interface, its notification capabilities, and the real-time reporting.""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.""We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script.""The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is it allows us to develop and add as many plugins as we want.""Our customers like that Nagios Core is an open source solution. It can be customized to our customers' specific needs."

More Nagios Core Pros →

"From our perspective, ThousandEyes stands out as an invaluable tool because of its deep and extensive capabilities.""The solution is very easy to use.""The installation process is not hard at all.""The company provides excellent service.""The authentication overall - including to the VPN and LAN - is excellent.""It's fairly easy to set up.""The most valuable aspect of the solution was the ability to see how the connection quality is between the sites and get an alert if it was turning bad.""The most valuable features are integration and ease of use."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through.""Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down.""The user interface could be more interactive because it is pretty basic.""Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does.""The core version is no match for the XI version.""I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network.""There is room for improvement in the graphics.""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."

More Nagios Core Cons →

"The tool does not provide features for application-level monitoring.""Once I fully use the tool 100%, I'm sure I would have something to critique, however, for now, I'm happy with it.""It would be nice if the solution covered other areas like server monitoring.""It's an expensive solution.""The guest portal is hard to use.""They only offer synthetic requests.""I would like the product to offer more agility.""ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features."

    Overview

    Juniper Mist Premium Analytics is a comprehensive network analytics solution that provides organizations with valuable insights into their network performance and user experience. The primary use case of this product is to enable IT teams to proactively monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize their network infrastructure.

    The most valuable functionality of Juniper Mist Premium Analytics is its AI-driven insights and recommendations. Leveraging machine learning algorithms, it analyzes vast amounts of network data to identify anomalies, predict potential issues, and suggest remediation actions. This proactive approach helps organizations minimize network downtime, improve user experience, and optimize network performance.

    By providing real-time visibility into network performance, Juniper Mist Premium Analytics helps organizations quickly identify and resolve network issues. It offers detailed analytics on network traffic, application performance, and user behavior, allowing IT teams to pinpoint the root cause of problems and take immediate action. This not only reduces troubleshooting time but also enhances overall network reliability.

    Furthermore, Juniper Mist Premium Analytics enables organizations to optimize their network infrastructure. It provides insights into network capacity utilization, application usage patterns, and user behavior, allowing IT teams to make informed decisions about network design, resource allocation, and capacity planning. This helps organizations to ensure that their network is efficiently utilized and can support the growing demands of their users.

    This is IT infrastructure monitoring's industry-standard, open-source core. Free without professional support services.

    ThousandEyes is a Network Intelligence platform that delivers visibility into every network an organization relies on, whether public or private. ThousandEyes enables users to optimize application delivery, end-user experience and ongoing infrastructure investments.

    With cloud, enterprises can innovate much faster, but the growing number of cloud and SaaS applications means that more apps are being delivered over the Internet. This increases dependence on the Internet, a public “best effort” network, and other third-party infrastructures, substantially reducing the ability of IT teams to predict, visualize and control operational behavior. This results in a chaotic and unmanageable IT environment, making issue resolution a time-consuming ordeal, potentially impacting reputation and revenue. ThousandEyes has innovated an approach based on an unmatched distribution of smart agents across the Internet and enterprise, providing visibility all the way to the end user. ThousandEyes gathers and analyzes massive volumes of Network Intelligence data from all of these vantage points, enabling organizations to solve even their most obscure performance problems in minutes. By using ThousandEyes in the planning and testing phases of cloud adoption, customers can also strategically identify and fix underlying problems before production deployment of business-critical applications.

    The ThousandEyes solution is ubiquitous across industry sectors, and since launching in mid-2013, customers have come from a diverse set of industry sectors, which include Silicon Valley technology companies, financial services, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, retail, manufacturing and education.
