Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."It shows us not only when utilization is high, but also when it is low."
"It allows us to easily troubleshoot computer issues instead of calling a tech person or do the troubleshooting ourselves and taking the time to do it."
"MetricsView allows us to keep an eye on computer memory, internal network availability, processors, etc. Letting us know where our issues are coming from based on those numbers."
"As the kind of enterprise that straddles the line between telco size and enterprise size, it scales for us, because we're not all the way at telco yet."
"The containerization of different objects was very helpful in building an org structure. Being able to separately manage your MSP clients with separate visibility was also helpful."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"The monitoring just comes to us: "Oh, there's something wrong with that machine." It tells us. There are some 50,000 machines or so, all doing different things. And if they go down we hear about it."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"An online app or download would be useful for the next release, possibly even a phone app that I could use to view my dashboard when I am stationed remotely."
"We want to make our own choice for the AIOps solution and do not want to be forced to use the Broadcom OI solution by default."
"It doesn't really allow for multi-tenancy. If you're an ISP or an MSP and you want to use this tool to provide these types of fault management services to your customers, you would need a separate SpectroSERVER for each customer..."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"We have had some issues with the spec server and the high availability replication of data. It fails over well, but it does not come back very well. We get duplicated events."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
"Nagios XI can improve network and hardware monitoring, these parameters should be simplified to allow usage for monitoring. Additionally, if there was automatic reporting it would be helpful."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"The PNP4Nagios plugin not working easily with XI is an issue for me, because some open source monitoring plugins do not work out of the box. But in the end, you learn to live with it."
