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

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"The solution is stable.""The artificial intelligence and automatic detection system in Flowmon Solution are perfect for every, type of customer, such as government and commerce.""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."

More Flowmon Pros →

"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.""We have found the solution to be stable.""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 drafts are easy but what I like about Icinga is that there are many add-ons that you can download.""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.""The value of Icinga is that it has hundreds of plugins, so it's really easy to monitor pretty much anything.""The apply rules feature saves a lot of time.""The best thing about the solution is how it highlights errors, the issues, and what needs my attention. The solution directs me to areas that I should look for first."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good.""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.""The licensing price could be better."

More Flowmon Cons →

"One thing that Icinga lacks is the capability to create advanced and customized dashboards within the tool itself.""Icinga’s automation could be improved.""The installation and configuration are very complex.""It needs Trap SNMP. I saw the documentation for Zabbix, that it has its own built-in product which handles SNMP traps, and there's nothing similar in Icinga or Nagios. I think this feature is most important for me.""The tool currently fails to provide notifications to users.""The user interface should be improved.""One of the areas that are frustrating is remote monitoring for more than one machine.""In general, the product does not look good. However, it does what it is supposed to do. So, the improvements should focus on usability and UI."
