More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"What was very compelling about OpsView was that we could dial out the noise and have meaningful and actionable alerts.""The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup.""We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider. We also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients.""I am satisfied with the overall product since it works well…It is a stable solution.""It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."

More Opsview Pros →

"Our customers also like that they don't have to use multiple modules. Micro Focus and major vendors typically require you to buy several modules and plugins. Our customers do not like that. We offer them a single product for all their monitoring needs.""The performance and bandwidth are valuable features.""It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system.​""In terms of customization and integration, we have more flexibility. We can automate configurations, define deletion rules, and customize based on the needs. The client interface allows for further configuration, making it quite comprehensive.""It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security.""Zabbix has a roadmap and they are continuously and frequently adding new features.""Health and communication links availability.""It has an intuitive UI with beautiful graphs and customizable maps."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved.""Maybe the graphical representation can be improved. It can be enhanced for better visualization. It could be a little better. And the graph center can be improved.""In a future release, we would like to have Observ for AI. Any AI and intelligence it can add to the monitoring is obviously beneficial. We would also like to have automated callouts.""Customized reporting can be improved.""Some of the graphics on Opsview could be improved."

More Opsview Cons →

"When using this solution in enterprise monitoring, you are able to see that there are some issues with equipment that could be causing a problem. Sometimes you want to make a root command that you do not want to be executed automatically. What we have tried to do is open an SSH session directly from the solution's interface but it is not possible.""The user interface could be a bit better. They could update it a bit.""An area for improvement would be the ease of doing aggregation from the value or different devices.""The event correlation could be better.""I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana.""Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement.""Look and feel.""Outside of the normal standard monitoring, I would like to extend patching, importing patching, and supporting patching for Windows Servers."

    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 →
