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."
"The real-time troubleshooting and application segregation that you can do within it."
"It helps us get to root cause quickly. With utilization and consumption of bandwidth, we can usually see what application is taking as much as they should (or shouldn't), then account for it accordingly."
"When we have mobile operators who are signal partners, where one is the roaming host and another is the roamer, we are able to see their traffic. Their packets are able to detect if any faults to develop, and at what point they fail."
"It allows us to get quicker resolutions. We can see exactly what is using up the bandwidth, so we can assist end users."
"The product is stable. I have never had any issue where we have lost an InfiniStream, or visibility from that particular InfiniStream, throughout the bank."
"It's an easy product to set up."
"I love the single pane of glass view. It makes it easier to not have to navigate everywhere. It allows more simplistic visibility, without having to go from tool to tool to tool, or from window to window to window."
"The most valuable feature is utilization."
"It provides us with proactive monitoring and is very easy to configure and maintain."
"What I value most about Pandora FMS is the simplicity of working with it."
"This solution has screens that are easy to understand and provide a wealth of information."
"You can configure several types of architecture for high availability or load balancing."
"Pandora's architecture is interesting. It's open so you can easily extend and enhance it. It's simpler to customize Pandora compared to other solutions. It's also scalable enough to support large environments."
"The official forum is active enough to answer most of the high-end technical questions that you may have."
"The most valuable feature is that it is an all-in-one monitoring system."
"Thanks to this software and to the work of the support team, we have everything under control."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Being able to manage the packet flow switches in nGeniusONE would be great."
"The single pane of glass feed still needs work."
"It's not able to communicate with our probes."
"The technology goes end-of-life on us every year, which is why I am looking forward to vSTREAM. I don't like when devices go end-of-life on us so quickly. If we can get more of an advanced notice of when an end-of-life is brought up, because our certification process within the organization takes a while."
"The NetFlow Collectors could handle more flows per minute."
"I would like to see an improved level of stitching between IPs."
"The monitoring and reporting tool needs improvement. Users want more information, such as the level of detail when doing a packet analysis. They want more detail to be able to isolate down to a specific point."
"Only problems that we have had are fiber issues going into the TAPs or vSTREAMs, which are usually local site issues."
"It would be helpful to include the generation of reports for times that the network was out of service."
"Third-party integration should be improved for some commonly used products."
"The product lacks APIs for integration with other systems."
"Pandora FMS is relatively new, and the interface with the older version crashes at times. We have several different operating systems, such as Linux and Windows, and Pandora does not run as well in these."
"The price for Pandora FMS is expensive."
"We would like the real-time monitoring of an interface to be improved within this solution."
"An update to the Android app would be appreciated."
"Pandora FMS is an overall great monitoring solution, but it does not have a community that is as large as Zabbix or Nagios."
