    From a packet tracing standpoint, it was easy to setup and analyze an issue we were having with eigrp errors between 2 data centers. Took a few minutes to stand up on both sides and compare the traffic to determine hellos weren't being sent. On the other spectrum, had it had the analytics of such products as Extrahop, it could have recognized and alerted us of an internal DNS attack we had.

    If anyone looking for the monitoring system for the infrastructure this is the go-to tool which monitors all infrastructure related components from server health to Networking and update us with mails and can be easily integrated with multiple other tools as needed for example PagerDuty , Also this suits good both on premises and cloud environments as well. If we are managing complex environment this tool for monitoring is best one.

    Cons
    BlueCat
    • I use it primarily as a monitoring tool from a security standpoint, so one complaint is that the filter creation process takes a little time to learn.
    • In the digital days of printing less, I do still need to print network diagrams for compliance documentation and some of the larger network diagrams documents do not print easily.
    • I wish the network connection lines were easier to see. They are typically very light and you have to drill down to see them more clearly.

    • Robust, but visually old interface. Requires a lot of work to become presentable.
    • Small selection of dashlets to construct new views.
    • No MS Azure monitoring ability, nothing for “as service,” very limited Amazon cloud monitoring abilities.
    • Questionable price politics (could make it a lot less for developing markets to actually increase use of the product and R&D budgets).
    • No report designers nor the ability to create new reports. No changes in this area for years.
    • Overall lack of new developments, making this product more and more outdated.

    We
    are using Nagios XI in our organization primarily for monitoring all our
    application servers and databases, this is helping us in addressing all the
    infrastructure issues in advance by alerting us when it any server hits the
    threshold as per the initial parameter setup also it has free tier which helps for small scale applications monitoring to save some expenses.

    Can't really rate this, we never had to call support. The product wasn't complicated to setup and learn. We have a high level of network knowledge so the product was self-explanatory.

    There is not any other product that does exactly what LiveAction does. Some come about halfway close, like scrutinizer by Plixer. However, there is a gap with that product as it doesn't give proper quality of service recommendations, or to update l2/l3 configs to head off problems. Plixer's scrutinizer product costs about the same. It was a no-brainer to pick LiveAction.

    Cost efficiency is the main reason which we opted [for] Nagios as we were previously using IDERA tool with comprehensive database monitoring solutions, but the slow performance we are getting while monitoring the instance of the database.
