Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Nagios Fusion version 12.8 excels in user-friendly GUI design, cost-effectiveness, and ease of deployment."
"It's very easy to manage and monitor it."
"Being open source lets us customize it for our monitoring needs, saving us money."
"It is easier for client installation, and the configurations are doable even for a newcomer in the field."
"We found that it was easy to operate, and it was simple if anyone has entry-level working experience or even if someone is not experienced."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the monitoring capabilities."
"I like the tracking feature to track devices and see where they are connected. This is very practical."
"Reporting tools are a great feature along with the ability to create customized reports for you"
"It is scalable."
"As we look to add more servers to our virtual environment and to understand the impact, the solution allows us to dig into the historical charts related to capacity planning."
"All the features are very good. The monitoring of the equipment, the configuration manager, and the IP address monitoring are great."
"The solution is easy to install and it takes a couple of hours."
"In future iterations of this solution, there is a desire for more seamless integration with other monitoring software."
"Adding application performance monitoring to the product alongside infrastructure monitoring would make it a more complete and useful solution."
"There are some bugs, although not that many. There are some situations where the solution is not stable but the number of problems is not very high."
"Nagios Fusion should include a 'remember me' option when logging in, so we don't need to enter a username and password every time."
"The only real caveat that we have or that I have an issue with is when I go on vacation, it's a little hard for me to go and modify alerts so that I don't get alerted about things when I'm on vacation."
"The aesthetic widgets should be dynamic widgets, so the customization can be even more customizable."
"If they could combine everything into one product, that would be very helpful."
"An area for improvement in SolarWinds NPM is the short retention period. Currently, it's just for seven days of data, which is very low, making it hard for my organization to keep that data. SolarWinds recommended a seven-day retention period, but my organization needs a fourteen-day data retention period. Hence, I'd like an increase in the retention period or the database limit in SolarWinds NPM because you can't go back to the data for any investigation if seven days have passed. Another area for improvement in SolarWinds NPM is the database, which needs to be a bit more mature. I want a modified database in the next release of SolarWinds NPM. I'd also like more options added to groups because, currently, it's very limited."
"The console could be more user-friendly. It would be better if SolarWinds updated the user interface."
"We decided that we were no longer going to trust that their products have not been capitalized."
"Being able to detect devices that are trying to connect wirelessly would make using this solution much easier."
"The integration needs to be improved."
