A cloud solution for warehousing with a troubleshooting feature
The initial setup is straightforward. It's based on user requirements. We also conduct heat mapping using a couple of tools. The only requirement is to understand the technical or configuration aspects from the user's end and then configure it. Mist takes no more than 15 to 20 minutes for a particular deployment. You need to understand the end user's environment and have a concrete plan on whether it's a greenfield installation or an existing one, considering the density and height. Based on that, we need to develop a passive heat map. Then, you need to discuss with the user to understand exactly what needs to be configured and what they require in their environment. Based on that, you can proceed with the installation. Additionally, you can perform post-installation heat mapping to ensure it matches the earlier heat map. I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

Efficiently monitors servers and services, both inside and outside the network
My main use cases include monitoring of servers and services. Some of them are outside our network and some are inside the network.   Nagios Core sends notifications when things are out of sync. However you set it up, t will send a notification. So that's the notification that we're looking for.…

Quotes from Members

"The artificial intelligence and automatic detection system in Flowmon Solution are perfect for every, type of customer, such as government and commerce."
"The solution is stable."
"It is an open platform, so in terms of integration, we are quite happy. We can integrate it with other SNMP solutions. We can also integrate it with security solutions, such as a SIEM solution."
"Dashboard provides monitor of total assets."
"It has made the life of the network operations staff more proactive in managing the resources of the infrastructure. It prevents disasters long before they can take place."
"I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring."
"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."
"The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner."
"The notifications are definitely one of the most valuable features of Nagios Core. We know what to look for and what to expect when things are down."
"Our customers like that Nagios Core is an open source solution. It can be customized to our customers' specific needs."
 

Cons

"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It would be helpful to have more details about the monitoring of the infrastructure. It should have support for SNMP. This is something that is currently not there in the product."
"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."
"The licensing price could be better."
"Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does."
"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."
"I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."
"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."
"It would be nice if the company offered a sales or contract manager that was dedicated to our company so that we would have some sort of link to Nagios, and if we had issues or questions, we'd be able to contact them directly."
"The tool needs to improve the integrations."
"Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI."
"The core version is no match for the XI version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
