Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"You want to monitor a specific metric that nobody else has? You can do it even with the most basic of scripting skills, and you can always share it with the vast community of Nagios Exchange."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-based protection against zero-day malware attacks."
"Stability is never a concern."
"Being an application-based firewall, this is one of the critical focus factors along with the threat prevention services it provides."
"The graphic user interface of Palo Alto is good and it's easy to configure."
"I give the initial setup an eight out of ten."
"We get support in the free version."
"It is stable and pretty much scalable."
"Their technical support is outstanding and top-notch."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"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."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"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 Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."
"In the future, Palo Alto could reduce the time it takes to process the file."
"Palo Alto Networks WildFire should be more real-time in nature. The signature updates should happen in a minute or less than a minute to be a very good feature for the customer."
"In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release of Palo Alto Networks WildFire, each release is based on malware that has been identified. The key problem is an average of six months from the time malware is written to the time it's discovered and a signature is created for it. The only advice that I can give is for them to shorten that timeframe. I don't know how they would do it, but if they shorten that, for example, cut it in half, they'll make themselves more famous."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"They provide a medium level of technical support."
"The solution can improve its traffic management."
