GFI Exinda NetworkOrchestrator vs. Pandora FMS

Well suited to traffic control and prioritization WAN Op is limited and does not work reliably

Incentivized

I believe Pandora FMS is a solution that adapts to any type of scenario; it's useful for small businesses as well as large organizations. It more than meets the need to have a comprehensive monitoring system capable of sending alerts instantly and consulting historical data, logs, and trends. Additionally, for small businesses, the free version will be more than sufficient in most cases. And for those who do not want to deploy the service on-premise, there is an option for MaaS (Monitoring as a Service).

We considered Pandora FMS to be the solution that offered more features at a lower cost. We were particularly interested in the abundance of options available in Pandora FMS's free version and the ability to monitor practically anything in an extremely heterogeneous environment like ours. We also considered Pandora FMS for its management capabilities and the possibilities offered by its web interface.

• It is a tool with an appropriate cost that allows to have results in a very limited time.
• Having a health dashboard and alerts of important business in the company is an important differential with any other monitoring solution on the market.
• Monitoring can be adjusted to the business, considering service SLAs and adjusting the platform according to the needs of each department of the company.
