Cons
"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier.""The return on investment report is too difficult to understand.""I think that support integration could be improved.""The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved.""Our customers would like to see the price lowered.""The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

More HPE System Management Cons →

"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes.""There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution.""The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance.""The System Center Operations Manager can be improved.""The product could be more secure and more stable.""Zabbix could improve when it comes to large-scale use cases. Additionally, the inventory could be better when connecting to other solutions, such as ServiceNow. There show to be better integration with other platforms and storage.""Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need.""I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."

    I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want using these, but they require quite some expertise before you can use them. Then there are the ones that are not open source, the enterprise softwares and cost you some money, but on the other hand, they are extremely easy to set-up and learn. You can have them up and running in a matter of minutes. And then there are those which are completely cloud based. They can be free of cost or charge some money depending on the software. The good thing about these is that you don’t have to install any extra software, and it can be managed completely online but then again these have limited features and you cannot exploit them to the full extent as you can do with the open-source and to some extent the enterprise software, so I won’t suggest you to use these, because these are generally not the complete solutions and require other support software to achieve the same. Below I have listed the outstanding pros and cons of the various Network analyzers that you can look into Nagios Pros: Nagios offers an extensive set of collector plug-ins that allows users to gather performance and availability data from a broad range of operating systems, including  Windows and Netware Nagios… Read more →
