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

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"It is very rock solid. We hardly have any hardware issues.""It's an easy product to set up.""It allows us to get quicker resolutions. We can see exactly what is using up the bandwidth, so we can assist end users.""The tool has the ability to look back within a month's data. It is very easy to navigate within the tool and troubleshoot the problem, compared to other solutions that we've used in the past.""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 most valuable features are speed and cost.""I love the single pane of glass view. It makes it easier to not have to navigate everywhere. It allows more simplistic visibility, without having to go from tool to tool to tool, or from window to window to window.""We use it for monitoring whenever we update a new circuit or site."

More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG Pros →

"The initial setup was very quick. The first time it was long because I didn't know it yet. I was only using Windows. The first time was very difficult because of the operating system.""It can send messages to our ticketing system.""Zabbix helps to save time.""Zabbix has a roadmap and they are continuously and frequently adding new features.""We are able to monitor our virtual infrastructure, virtual machines, windows servers, databases, and the network using a simple network management protocol. We are able to pull almost all the metrics that we want, receive notifications, and have them integrate with telegrams for certain devices that are critical, such as UPSs.""It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix.""The features I found most valuable are the user interface and a wide range of network devices that are easy to configure.""Zabbix is very easy to implement."

More Zabbix Pros →

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"The monitoring and reporting tool needs improvement. Users want more information, such as the level of detail when doing a packet analysis. They want more detail to be able to isolate down to a specific point.""The single pane of glass feed still needs work.""The scalability has some limitations and quirks to it. I would like to be able to upgrade rather than replace the whole thing.""Only problems that we have had are fiber issues going into the TAPs or vSTREAMs, which are usually local site issues.""The stability depends on who is using the tool, because you only can get as much out of the tool as you put into it. There are a lot of patches for this particular environment, so you have to keep on them. If you lose track of them, then the product is not useful anymore.""I'd like them to make the product more user-friendly.""The NetFlow Collectors could handle more flows per minute.""It's not able to communicate with our probes."

More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG Cons →

"There are a lot of areas for improvement, specifically in the dashboards and reports functionalities.""The reports are not great and should be improved.""The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities.""The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly.""When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it.""It should be easy to modify the front end.""Zabbix can use better documentation and support for troubleshooting.""The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."

  • "To capture more with the solution that we bought, you have to buy another InfiniStreamNG, and there are only four ports in the back."
  • "The scalability is good, but it comes at a cost. E.g., if you need 100 InfiniStream because you are sending gigs or terabytes of data to one InfiniStream, then you will have to purchase another InfiniStream, which are not cheap."

  • "This product could be cheaper."
  • "The price is a little high."
  • "I would like it to be more scalable with less spend."

    I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want using these, but they require quite some expertise before you can use them. Then there are the ones that are not open source, the enterprise softwares and cost you some money, but on the other hand, they are extremely easy to set-up and learn. You can have them up and running in a matter of minutes. And then there are those which are completely cloud based. They can be free of cost or charge some money depending on the software. The good thing about these is that you don’t have to install any extra software, and it can be managed completely online but then again these have limited features and you cannot exploit them to the full extent as you can do with the open-source and to some extent the enterprise software, so I won’t suggest you to use these, because these are generally not the complete solutions and require other support software to achieve the same. Below I have listed the outstanding pros and cons of the various Network analyzers that you can look into Nagios Pros: Nagios offers an extensive set of collector plug-ins that allows users to gather performance and availability data from a broad range of operating systems, including  Windows and Netware Nagios… Read more →
