Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios XI is customization. We can customize based on our requirements. We can do modifications and implement a lot of scripts. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"Nagios allows us to configure any device so that we can send pager alerts when people don't have access to emails. It also allows us to schedule downtime and maintenance."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"Using WildFire has reduced the number of viruses and the amount of malware that comes into our system, which means that I don't have to rely on the end-users to identify it."
"High availability with active-active and active-passive modes."
"The most valuable features of this solution are sandbox capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks WildFire is its ability to adapt to environments and its robustness."
"WildFire's application encryption is useful."
"The solution has plenty of features."
"A good tool for file scanning and email threat detection, especially when it comes to attachments and communications."
"The graphic user interface of Palo Alto is good and it's easy to configure."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"We often need to develop custom plugins to get Nagios to work the way we want it to work because the features we need are not always available in Nagios."
"The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"I would like to be able to extend it to all of our data centers, whether they are in the cloud or not. It would be helpful if I could connect everywhere."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The only problem with this solution is the cost. It's expensive."
"It's not really their problem, it's a problem across the board. There will always be problems with interrupted traffic. We have to set it up where we're playing a middle man game where we're stripping it out, looking at it, and then putting it back together and sending it on its way. That requires CPU cycles. And there's some overhead with that."
"The threat intelligence that we receiving in the reporting was not as expected. We were expecting more. Additionally, we should be able to whitelist a specific file based on a variety of attributes."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The system performance degrades after the solution has been deployed for some time. The data that it gives us becomes a little bit slow. When you try to get some data for troubleshooting, it seems like it's working hard to extract that data."
"The configuration should be made a little bit easier. I understand why it is as it is, but there should be a way to make it easier from the user side."
"Other vendors have some sort of bandwidth management built into the firewall itself and Palo Alto is missing that."
"The size of Palo Alto's cloud is big but it could be easier to use from a product management perspective."
