Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"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."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"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 installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"Nagios allows us to configure any device so that we can send pager alerts when people don't have access to emails. It also allows us to schedule downtime and maintenance."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"What I like about Palo Alto is that it is a complete product, with everything in it."
"The way that the solution quickly updates to adjust to threats is the solution's most valuable aspect. When there's a security attack, within five minutes, all Wildfire subscribers have access to updates so that all systems will be safe. Its threat prevention is way better than other vendor products."
"The analysis is very fast."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"High availability with active-active and active-passive modes."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable features are all of the security features in terms of protection and SSL and VPN."
"Using WildFire has reduced the number of viruses and the amount of malware that comes into our system, which means that I don't have to rely on the end-users to identify it."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"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."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"When comparing this solution to others it is not as good overall."
"When you contact support, there is no guarantee that they will be available to help you tackle the issue that you are facing."
"The support is good but they could be faster."
"The threat intelligence that we receiving in the reporting was not as expected. We were expecting more. Additionally, we should be able to whitelist a specific file based on a variety of attributes."
"Management and web filtering can be improved. There should also be better reporting, particularly around web filtering."
"There are more specialized solutions that compete with Wildfire. Therefore, they need to work on their machine learning and AI to be more competitive."
"Any enhancements should likely be focused on the firewall appliance to further strengthen overall security capabilities, such as refining app and user identity features."
"The system performance degrades after the solution has been deployed for some time. The data that it gives us becomes a little bit slow. When you try to get some data for troubleshooting, it seems like it's working hard to extract that data."
