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

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"Azure Bastion makes it easy to provide quick virtual machine access to our customers.""The product's setup is easy.""The connection to virtual machines is very useful.""The interface is available in the edit portal.""The ability to operate the product with scripting is excellent.""It provides all the security to us. Without getting on the internet, we can access our servers. We can access our desktop through our web browser. We don't need to run the mstsc command and login to the VM. All those things are not required.""The most significant advantage lies in its runbook features, particularly beneficial for our infrastructure team.""As an Azure consultant, for me, it is the best way to give the administrator access as you can manage the permission - including who can access Bastion."

More Azure Bastion Pros →

"Icinga does the job and is fairly stable.""An affordable solution for small organizations to do basic network monitoring.""Icinga has multiple automation and integration features. There is an API for everything and a web UI for configurations. The APIs enable you to automate tasks in Icinga. We can also use plugins to talk to the API. The Icinga Director talks to a database in the background, and you can import settings from the CMDB to all systems in Icinga.""The value of Icinga is that it has hundreds of plugins, so it's really easy to monitor pretty much anything.""There's a module called Icinga Director, which helps us configure the product using an intuitive interface through clicks instead of creating a text configuration. It's very helpful for us.""I like the ability to amend and adjust things really easily, which is useful in a case where you could make it auto-discover and then set a template to say all of these applications or servers under this template have an automatic threshold set that you’d set up manually.""The drafts are easy but what I like about Icinga is that there are many add-ons that you can download.""This solution has a self-healing handler where if the service is down, it is automatically restarted."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"The solution breaks down sometimes.""There are some challenges because Bastion is more compatible with Edge but not with the other browsers. As an organization, it doesn't make sense that we have to use only Edge. We should be able to access Bastion over Chrome, Mozilla, or Opera. It should be our choice.""While general support is valuable, having a detailed breakdown of the specific issues would contribute to a more streamlined and efficient resolution process.""When you have a boot issue on Windows, you cannot use Azure Bastion to fix it. You have to use the Azure console or the VM console, and it is very limited.""We are not able to copy and paste files directly into the server over the patch host. We have to transfer files over to Azure Storage.""You are charged for retrieving your own data.""The protocol speed could be faster."

More Azure Bastion Cons →

"The solution lacks many features important to higher-level IT management and network support.""Icinga’s automation could be improved.""At this time, the layout of the website is a bit difficult. It should be more user-friendly for changing the background and logos.""I think the software is quite good, but we have had problems with getting it to recognize certain areas and amend certain checks, where we needed so we would have to create backend scripts for those checks. Though, being open source, it has the support to create backend scripts, it would be better to have these scripts in-built.""The installation and configuration are very complex.""The tool currently fails to provide notifications to users.""The user interface should be improved.""Icinga is a complex solution that's hard to learn. It's a powerful product for monitoring, but new users will have a hard time figuring out what to do."
