Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The most valuable feature of Nagios XI is customization. We can customize based on our requirements. We can do modifications and implement a lot of scripts. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"My primary use case for this solution is for a secure gateway."
"Intuitive threat prevention and analysis solution, with a machine learning feature. Scalable, stable, and protects against zero-day threats."
"It is the best device in comparison to other network products in the marketplace."
"The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Networks WildFire is its ability to adapt to environments and its robustness."
"WildFire's application encryption is useful."
"The graphic user interface of Palo Alto is good and it's easy to configure."
"I like the analysis they apply to the unknown files, and I think they have good technology to use as a sandboxing tool. I didn't find something similar to WildFire in the marketplace."
"Detailed reporting on analysis of content. The inspections are easily applied to security policy profiles and profile groups, and may be assigned on a per-rule basis."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
"The way Nagios displays information isn't easy for a new user to understand. It's not intuitive enough. You need to read some tutorials or be trained to understand what it's displaying. Also, I think it needs more features to improve network visibility because there are some things you can't detect."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"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."
"The global product feature needs improvement, the VPN, and we need some enhanced features."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"They provide a medium level of technical support."
"Palo Alto Networks WildFire could improve by adding support for manual submission of suspicious files and URLs. Additionally, it would be an advantage to add rule-based analysis. Currently, it uses only static and AI. We need to be able to analyze archive files."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
"It would be nice if there was an easier way to install and deploy it, such as through the inclusion of wizards."
