Pandora FMS Reviews

I use Pandora FMS to monitor IT infrastructure, applications, and some business processes. Our clients range in size. For example, one of the bigger environments I'm supporting has about 3,000 devices, including router servers, applications, etc. The smaller client has roughly a hundred. 

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.

My primary use case is the daily monitoring of all the network traffic for my bank client. With it, I supervise and monitor more than one hundred nodes and servers of all kinds, such as print servers, file servers, etc. From Pandora, I can have everything controlled and under continuous supervision. I supervise maintenance and optimization of the network infrastructure from Pandora FMS.
When we want to monitor a new server or a new machine installed in the pandora network, it detects it automatically and we already have it monitored.

It is very easy and practical to work with this tool and is very useful to have at all times controlled what happens on the network.

You can also monitor services published on the network.

It is very practical to detect possible points of failure in the network.

In short it is a great tool for any network administrator whatever the size of the infrastructure of your network, it will help you to have everything under control.

Totally recommended and even recommended.

Thanks to Pandora FMS, we have greatly improved our client's network supervision.

It helps us to detect problems very quickly. We can see where the problem is and it gives us the tools to solve it quickly. We have everything centralized in the same application and at a glance, we can detect problems and solve them.

My primary use case for Pandora is monitoring.

This solution has helped us improve our organization by allowing us to create a lot of metrics on several platforms, including Windows, Linux, and Unix. We then use these Pandora metrics to create an interface. We then pass the interface off to the central console.

We use it to monitor the client's system, database models, operating system models, and SAP.

We are consultants and thanks to Pandora can detect a lot of disasters that other companies can't. We can offer high availability of the system to the client.

We use its latest version to monitor all our Windows and Linux servers.

This product has been really good for us. We took a chance with this open-source product with an enterprise offering. It has been very effective for what we monitor; servers, networking switches, fiber channel switches, web apps, etc...

We use this product's search and review functionality to stabilize the infrastructure software.

The monitoring system within this solution is very good. It is easy to use and navigate, and makes issue alarms easily viewable.

We used this solution for the deployment of a Linux and Windows mixed environment to keep track of the infrastructure and generate periodical capacity plannings, execution of personalized scripts on remote servers to collect data from in-house applications, and to centralize the monitoring of the whole infrastructure.

We were able to monitor the whole infrastructure, which allowed us to identify some glitches and adjust the schedules of some tasks to improve the execution of multiple processes. This translated into shortening the time of execution for the daily preconfigured tasks.

In comparison with most monitoring software, this software is incredibly easy to use. It does 95% of what we want it to and the remainder is currently waiting on new features that have been added to the roadmap.

Although the version I use is not the enterprise, Pandora FMS allows our company to accurately maintain an up to the minute, easy to digest visual on inventory and security throughout our network for certain industry compliance of workstations and servers.

Being a solution running on Linux, it gives us an excellent relationship between hardware requirements and the number of agents that can be managed effectively. It supports up to two thousand agents using less than 4GB of RAM, which today is a fairly modest amount.
