Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"It is a very valuable tool. It goes out and does a discovery, which is a great process of it. You could have something like a rogue DHCP server, and it will identify it, and then you can see to which switch port it is connected. It is quite an impressive tool. I really liked it because you didn't have to install an agent on anything. It would just go out and do its discovery. For me, that's great."
"Gives us the ability to see our network."
"It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"This solution allows us to standardize all of the reports for monitoring the network, so it helps a lot for auditing purposes."
"It's easy to use."
"The solution is scalable. If you want to monitor more you have to buy more licenses, but you can add on. We don't plan to increase usage."
"It is very good at monitoring Microsoft Server."
"The most valuable features for us are the monitoring, the health explorer, and the console."
"The solution primarily drives system information, and I believe it works fine."
"The solution's reporting engine has given me detailed information on which applications or services I've either failed or about to fail in terms of the predictive makeup on Azure cloud."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Its price can be improved. Their support can also be improved a little bit. In terms of features, it did everything I wanted it to do. With more features, I would have to start installing network agents or something else, and I don't want to have to install anything. This was the value for me about this device."
"I would like a built-in tap feature which doesn't interfere with the network, and it allows you to see what is happening there."
"The solution can be improved by expanding to cloud usage."
"I would like to see them improve their network monitoring."
"It could use some system enhancements, such as better dashboards."
"It would be a much better product if Microsoft provided management packs with the product."
"The GI is difficult to work with and the reporting servers are also difficult."
"The console feature is very poor, and it would be very good for us if this were improved."
"I would like more customized reports. People should have some customization option on the dashboards for whenever they put multiple lists into it. Beyond customizing the content, there should be the ability to customize the colors so that they can engage some priority and mark challenges separately."
"The dashboard features are not user-friendly for our management team, only for the technical department."
