Για τη συντήρηση προϊόντων, το Kaseya IT Center τοποθετεί τα νέα αρχεία στο αποθετήριο και αυτά αντιγράφονται με διακομιστές, επομένως όταν εκτελούμε μια εντολή στην εταιρεία μας, αυτή διέρχεται από τους διακομιστές. Μερικές φορές, υπάρχουν ορισμένες περιοχές που οφείλονται σε αλλοιώσεις του προϊόντος, αλλά δεν πειράζει, καθώς το Kaseya IT Center διορθώνει το πρόβλημα γρήγορα. Στο παρελθόν, είχαμε κάποια μεγάλα προβλήματα με τους διακομιστές του προϊόντος να είναι εκτός λειτουργίας για περίπου τρεις εβδομάδες λόγω κάποιας επίθεσης ransomware που έλαβε χώρα σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο. Όχι μόνο η εταιρεία μας, αλλά όλοι στον κόσμο που χρησιμοποιούσαν το προϊόν επηρεάστηκαν από αυτήν. Το προϊόν έχει βελτιώσει το επίπεδο ασφαλείας του και προς το παρόν η εταιρεία μας δεν αντιμετωπίζει κανένα πρόβλημα με τη λύση. Συνιστώ το προϊόν σε άλλους που σκοπεύουν να το χρησιμοποιήσουν, καθώς είναι ένα ωραίο προϊόν που σας επιτρέπει να κάνετε εύκολα τη δουλειά σας, ενώ παράλληλα σας επιτρέπει να αναλάβετε το κομμάτι της αντιμετώπισης προβλημάτων. Βαθμολογώ το συνολικό εργαλείο με οκτώ στα δέκα.

Simplifies setup and requires user interface enhancement
Nagios XI is easy to install, which sets it apart from other open-source solutions I've tried. Typically, setting up a monitoring system on Linux involves cloning files from GitHub, building it, and installing many dependencies, but with Nagios XI, it wasn't like that. Nagios XI simplifies our setup and reduces the time spent configuring monitoring tools.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Kaseya IT Center is a platform that is growing all the time and expanding with more scripts and new capabilities, and it is useful and very easy to learn."
"It is a product that is very easy to learn."
"Kaseya's Synthetic Backup functionality impressed me."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its simplicity."
"Nagios XI is an outstanding network Monitoring tool, which can be tweaked to suit any environment and it is a good solution for business looking for remarkable features at zero cost."
"Nagios XI helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability. We have multiple servers to monitor databases, availability of servers, and ping."
"Since the cost is zero and it can use a fairly cheap server to run on the ROI is nearly immediate."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
 

Cons

"Agent communications with the server often fails if Internet access is slow."
"In Kaseya, agents are shown as offline at times, and it is an area that is being improved."
"At times, there is degradation in performance."
"Nagios provides most of the features by default, however to add more services to it, it requires additional plugins which require little effort on administrative end."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"However, it is a bit complex and difficult for a first-time user."
"The NCC does have issues where it locks up or an admin cannot be sure if the system configuration was exact."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"The licensing fees for this solution are approximately $3,000 USD per year."
"It is good to contact experts for advice about what is the best solution for your specific infrastructure and enterprise."
"Licensing costs are reasonable."
"The pricing is really cost efficient. The licensing is perpetual and can be renewed very easily."
"Nagios XI is open source."
"Nagios XI is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is high with separate licensing for the product and support."
"As it is not an agentless tool, I think it is expensive."
