Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"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."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."
"Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"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 Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios XI is customization. We can customize based on our requirements. We can do modifications and implement a lot of scripts. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"It also allows us to predict the capacity on WAN circuits, as well as other circuits, to help us plan for upgrading."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where you have everything right there on the screen."
"The graphics and trends are the most valuable for us."
"Statseeker helps to quickly see if you have a spike or something going on. In the future, we need to get NetFlow in the tool so we can see what the IP is."
"This solution has helped us to proactively identify issues and push some of those fixes down to tier one."
"Grouping, Threshold/alerts, Netflow analyser, Private MIB object support are most valuable as they can provide more visibility into network performance, and for network troubleshooting."
"This solution provides us with a quicker response in troubleshooting."
"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"I would like to be able to extend it to all of our data centers, whether they are in the cloud or not. It would be helpful if I could connect everywhere."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"We often need to develop custom plugins to get Nagios to work the way we want it to work because the features we need are not always available in Nagios."
"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."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"The way Nagios displays information isn't easy for a new user to understand. It's not intuitive enough. You need to read some tutorials or be trained to understand what it's displaying. Also, I think it needs more features to improve network visibility because there are some things you can't detect."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"If it had more detailed NetFlow information then it would be far better."
"It doesn't do absolutely everything and it will require some additional software or hardware support to be a complete single solution."
"I would like to see more comprehensive reporting and alerting."
"I would like to see fully automatic updates so that our version is always current."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting."
"It would be nice if they had twenty-four-hour technical support because we contact Australia and we have to wait for them to open."
"It may be helpful to have more options in the alerting section."
"Detailed data can be hard to extract in CSV form. Sometimes, being able to dump down raw data would be good so various time periods across a longer period could be analysed. At present, data can be presented within Statseeker, but there is lots of "white space" between data points."
