NetVizura NetFlow Analyzer vs. Pandora FMS

The capacity planning was a big help in our company as we grew the number of connected locations. Grow or die is pretty much the business model of today but that growth is only as good as the network it travels on. Being able to recommend appropriate network requirements is a big deal in our line of business.

Incentivized

Pandora FMS adjusts to the client's need, from a simple configuration of a single server to a complex scenario with high availability support without additional licensing costs.

• Ease of use

• All-in-one software
• Flexible and easy configuration
• Multi-platform
• Design in PERL, CCS and HTML5

• At this point, I don't have any suggestion for improvements.

Incentivized

• Community version small features

The support team answers very quickly. They are always willing to find a solution to any need that is required by us or one of our clients.

Easier to use

Before using Pandora FMS, tests were carried out with all these tools:

• Nagios
• Zabbix
• System Center Operations Manager (SCOM)
• IBM Tivoli
• PRTG
• SolarWinds

Pandora FMS allows simple customization by making adjustments to text files, developing agent add-ons without the need to be a programmer, there is no scenario where we could not take data and save it in PandoraFMS, IoT, industrial products, and everything that any client needs to monitor.

• As I mentioned in a previous statement, the capacity planning was the big thing. In our line of business, speed is everything. Customers hate to be slowed down so having the appropriate network connections is a must.
• Anomaly Detection with the threshold based alerting has made our network team more proactive in stopping things before they can really affect the company.
• Productivity with the use of monitoring conversations and amount of used bandwidth has helped weed out the works versus the campers.

Incentivized

• 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.
