Pandora FMS Reviews

Our primary use case is monitoring in a hybrid server environment, with Windows and Unix operating systems. Also, network devices with their interfaces. 

We also make use of the following functionality:

• Determining relationships between network devices and servers
• Finding the root cause of the problems easily
• Notification and SLA reports
  

This solution has improved our organization because we gain time by simplifying the root cause analysis. We can easily operate monitoring activities, which decreases operational costs. 

The features for creating a business service model and the Business Process Monitor (BPM) help us to understand how our IT services work. We can customize business-related metrics.

The most valuable feature is that it is an all-in-one monitoring system. It handles a server, network devices, log management, and remote connections.

Some other features we find valuable are:

• Easy to deploy and easy to extend.
• Ready to use application plug-ins like SAP, VMware, and Weblogic
• Topology-based monitoring
• Business model, service-based monitoring

The automation for remediation needs to be improved.

Improvements are needed for server and network discovery, including service-based discovery.

I would like to see the following features in the next release:

• Artificial Intelligence (AI) for event management
  
• Network Automation for configuration back-up of network devices
• Security compliance analysis and reporting

This is a high-performance solution and is easy to scale any size.

The Pandora FMS customer and technical support team are responsive and very quick.

I changed solutions because Pandora FMS is an all-in-one solution that is cost-efficient.

This initial setup is easy. It is very simple and the documentation is helpful.

The support team was very responsive when we had questions during implementation.

We used an in-house team for implementation.

Pandora FMS is easy to implement and the pricing of licenses is competitive.

We evaluated several products including Nagios XI, HP OpenView, Zabbix, and ManageEngine.

Our primary use case for this solution is to monitor our devices.

Thanks to this software and to the work of the support team, we have everything under control. It was simple and easy.

The most valuable features are its intricate alarm system and the simplicity of the license.

In the future, we may have double the number of devices, and we do not want to have any issues with performance in the data display.

Pandora FMS is very scalable due to the great facilities it provides for it. I think it depends more on the servers that host it, as opposed to the product itself.

I really like the technical service, and they have helped a lot with the implementation. The support team contacts the development teams to solve problems in record time.

I've never worked with another tool. We saw the information about this product on its blog, and we decided to take the risk and started using it.

On this issue, I think it is better to have technical assistance. I am not very good at this sort of thing. It happens to me with everything. 

We implemented this solution in-house, with help from their support team.

The ROI for this solution was above expectations.

The license part is the best. Only one payment and it includes support, updates, new versions, and access to the complete library of plugins except for SAP and z/OS.

I love the simplicity of the license. This makes it easy to work, with no fear of being asked for more money all the time.

We evaluated a couple of other solutions before settling on this one. They were Nagios and Zabbix, and they were too complicated at first sight.
