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

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"Other products are good but from the configuration point of view Nagios is really very lightweight. The price is really good in my opinion. Another important thing is that my Nagios engine still works with Dual core 8GB ram for the last 10 years.""Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it.""The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is the ability to check the availability of the server for network connectivity. Additionally, the interface is good.""Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work.""We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script.""The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is it allows us to develop and add as many plugins as we want.""Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens.""The solution is quite efficient."

More Nagios Core Pros →

"The most valuable functionality is some of the policy pieces that are quite useful.""Versa Director is the fastest engineering tool and is ideal for use without product management.""The most valuable feature of Versa Director is analytics.""Versa Director's best feature is the ease of configuration and customer and vendor management."

More Versa Director Pros →

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down.""The core version is no match for the XI version.""Making it a little easier to configure and set up from the start would help. There are multiple layers that you have to wade through to be able to set it up, to do it the right way, and to get it to do what you want it to do.""It is a bit slow due to latency.""The initial setup process could be easier.""The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved.""Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does.""There is room for improvement in the graphics."

More Nagios Core Cons →

"What needs improvement in Versa Director is maturity because, from an operating point of view, it's not mature enough. You'll still need to do a lot of research on Versa Director, so if it could mature faster, that would be very good.""Versa Director's deployment process is not the best.""Versa could be more AI-oriented.""It requires some simplification."
