We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Gives visibility into the cost of cloud-based solutions.""I like the fact that you can set alerts on the predicted cost in Azure Cost Management.""We find the analytics available via this solution to be very useful, as it allows us to easily see detailed cost information for each of our various subscription elements.""The tool is very stable.""During the two years I've been working with this solution, it has only been down once or twice. Thus, I would rate the stability of the solution at nine out of ten.""The advisor recommendations feature is the most valuable feature. It helps set your environment in a clean state.""It is easy to log in, and everything is graphical so that you can build on the published resources.""Cost management is the console's most valuable feature."

"The implementation process is very straightforward.""The most valuable feature is the alert and alarm monitoring.""The most valuable feature is monitoring.""Dashboard and the customization of the items and triggers are the most valuable features.""The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products.""We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host.""It is a great product. The SNMP protocol tracking feature is good. I really like how it tracks SNMP. The alerts are also great.""They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."

Cons
"The solution needs an automated dashboard and better reporting.""I would like the developers to add more features about migration, like how much it would cost to migrate from, let's say, AWS to Azure.""I would like to see better customization.""All the offers should be on the console. You shouldn't need to select from different tabs.""The dashboard could be improved.""The solution's technical support should be faster, more knowledgeable, and customer-friendly.""I haven't detected anything that needs improvement, but any solution could be improved.""The policy-based remediation is probably the biggest area where Azure is lacking and that's why we sell a lot of our technology to our customers."

More Azure Cost Management Cons →

"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this.""The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance.""Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement.""The performance reporting could be improved.""Implementation is always tailored to the customer and the kind of information we need from the client to carry it out can make them very uncomfortable. Sometimes the clients are not ready to share it.""The server monitoring could be better.""Zabbix does not draw automatic mapping of the network, this is something they should add in the future. There is a lot of effort that is involved in tailoring some of the settings which could be made easier.""I would like to see a more flexible mobile client, and better HA out of the box."

    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 →
