More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"The ease of setup is the most valuable aspect of this solution. It's easy to set up and run tests.""Our customer was happiest with the price of this product.""It empowers network administrators to access specialized and detailed views for specific tests, including video streaming and performance related to specific applications like video games.""The most valuable feature is the deployment because it's very easy to deploy real flow through the network."

More Ixia Hawkeye Pros →

"Like other common Linux distributions, some of the most valuable features of this solution are the ease of use and deployment. It's simple and has a lot of packages and a lot of software.""During my testing, the features that I like the most are that it can be integrated with my system, and it provides me with reports of all of my servers.""There is less computing power needed for scaling.""It's a flexible solution.""The features I found most valuable are the user interface and a wide range of network devices that are easy to configure.""The integration capabilities and APIs are the best part.""Its overall flexibility is most valuable. When our customers have some custom applications that are not necessarily covered by the community or a standard monitoring tool, we use Zabbix to build our own modules with our own templates. This feature has been useful in using Zabbix for infrastructure and IT monitoring. It has also been useful for industrial equipment monitoring. Zabbix is very lightweight. It is efficient in terms of performance because it doesn't use a lot of resources.""We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"You can't delete more than one thing at a time. It would be great to be able to highlight three out of five things and delete them, whether it's a test or an actual report.""Improvements in network performance are essential.""Ixia has one flaw, which is that they do not print the license code on the paper licenses that are shipped to the customers.""The customization of tests and even the results can be improved."

More Ixia Hawkeye Cons →

"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting.""I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE.""The System Center Operations Manager can be improved.""There is a bit of a learning curve during installation.""Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet.""The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly.""I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability.""Even though it’s such a powerful monitoring system, it would be more helpful if it had a flexible UI."

    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 →
