Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Nagios Fusion version 12.8 excels in user-friendly GUI design, cost-effectiveness, and ease of deployment."
"It's very easy to manage and monitor it."
"Being open source lets us customize it for our monitoring needs, saving us money."
"It is easier for client installation, and the configurations are doable even for a newcomer in the field."
"The solution is extremely stable. We haven't had any issues in that regard. We haven't had issues with bugs, glitches, or crashes."
"The nice thing about SolarWinds is that it's kind of all-in-one. I can manage the status of my networking devices, whether they are up or down, I can see how much traffic is going across an interface, and I can run a report that tells me exactly what that traffic is."
"The ability to customize the views and dashboards is nice. SolarWinds also allows us to access the data via the API. That's probably the feature I liked the most."
"Provides a good level of tools and covers essential components."
"With just three modules, I can monitor server performance (whether it’s a VM, in the cloud, or an on-premises server."
"The people in technical support are very good."
"The most valuable features of SolarWinds NPM are network performance monitoring and the overall benefit for servers."
"The solution ranks as one of the top five monitoring tools."
"Adding application performance monitoring to the product alongside infrastructure monitoring would make it a more complete and useful solution."
"Nagios Fusion should include a 'remember me' option when logging in, so we don't need to enter a username and password every time."
"In future iterations of this solution, there is a desire for more seamless integration with other monitoring software."
"There are some bugs, although not that many. There are some situations where the solution is not stable but the number of problems is not very high."
"SolarWinds NPM needs to increase its elements. One polling engine can only support 10,000 elements then it becomes slow. There are limitations even if you have the full SLX version license."
"My team has had a lot of issues with support."
"SolarWinds NPM can be very slow at times. The database optimization can be done to improve the product performance."
"A feature I would ask for is for them to have this solution available for Linux systems instead of Windows."
"There isn't support available to us as they don't offer support in our country."
"Scalability is a bit tricky because it requires more gateways in order to get the performance you may need. It also requires a lot of licensing."
"It is difficult for stakeholders to translate technical requirements, which results in difficulties selecting a platform or implementing a solution."
"It would be nice to have a test to check if you can access a particular device via API without installing it and waiting for a poll cycle. You should have the capacity to initiate a test to see if it was reachable and get the results almost immediately."
