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 solution helps to troubleshoot and put our hands on the weak points of customer networks."
"We build application dashboards and performance indexes for locations."
"The best feature is when we have it connected permanently via TAPs. That enables us to constantly collect data and then we can go back in time... To be able to rewind, back in time, and see the problem as it happened, is very helpful."
"It helps us get to the root cause quickly. It helps us find massive error codes, then we drill down on that error code, knowing that is the source of our problem."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"This solution provides us with increased visibility while conducting IT deployments. E.g., if we have devices which have overloaded or links which have saturated, then this tool tells us exactly what is going on with that link or device. Very few tools do it at this level for things like DDoS."
"It is an easy-to-scale platform."
"It is a scalable product."
"Gives us the ability to see our network."
"It is a very valuable tool. It goes out and does a discovery, which is a great process of it. You could have something like a rogue DHCP server, and it will identify it, and then you can see to which switch port it is connected. It is quite an impressive tool. I really liked it because you didn't have to install an agent on anything. It would just go out and do its discovery. For me, that's great."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It could have an easier to understand interface."
"Initial setup was complex."
"A lot of tools highlight what's going on but they don't actually pinpoint the user experience. It would be good if there were a small message or something highlighting what the user experience is like and any degradation that's actually occurring."
"There is currently less visibility or GUI to analyse the packet for troubleshooting purposes."
"I would like more in-depth convergence between all the applications, especially when I look for information through a data mine."
"The feature I am looking for is the Arbor technology, especially to run in parallel with our firewall... It's getting there."
"The stability is only fair. It goes down a lot."
"I would love to have them reassemble fragmented packets. That would be a very big plus in my book."
"I would like a built-in tap feature which doesn't interfere with the network, and it allows you to see what is happening there."
"Its price can be improved. Their support can also be improved a little bit. In terms of features, it did everything I wanted it to do. With more features, I would have to start installing network agents or something else, and I don't want to have to install anything. This was the value for me about this device."
