Cons
"It would be beneficial for Nagios to incorporate a tool that goes beyond log management and includes features to monitor overall system health and assess the effectiveness of antivirus solutions.""As we are talking about a product which is open to the public, the pricing makes it challenging for us to profit off of its marketing.""The configurations during initial setup could be improved. If they could be agentless, as in the case of the Ansible product, it would be better. I would like to be able to analyze the network bandwidth.""The support could be better.""The customization and dashboards have shortcomings and need to be improved to make the tool look more presentable."

"Snare should modernize its GUI a little bit.""Users will initially find it difficult to identify the event types and installation in Snare.""The solution is now developing a SIEM-like feature on Snare Central Server, but it's not complete yet."
