WhatsUp Gold best Network Monitoring System
Commenti: Excellent experience, I can't complaint. It's a must have tool for every organization to perform a better approach in advance and to have a full network visibility.
Aspetti positivi:
It is easy to implement and use. It enables you to map all of your network devices and access them thru it. It helps you to have a full visibility of all of your network. You can also set the performance alerts at your critical devices as servers, switches, routers and firewalls. It helps you to get the bandwidth monitoring by devices and applications.
Aspetti negativi:
It will be great to have a full library of MIBs for all network security devices and not having to look by each brand site.

Reliable & User-Friendly Network Monitoring
Commenti: WhatsUp Gold is a reliable and cost-effective choice for on-premise and hybrid network monitoring. While it excels in traditional network monitoring. WhatsUp Gold (WUG) is a solid network monitoring solution that balances ease of use, performance, and affordability. It’s particularly well-suited for SMBs and mid-sized enterprises looking for an intuitive way to monitor their network infrastructure.
Aspetti positivi:
Many users appreciate the clean dashboard and customizable views. Real-time performance monitoring of network devices, servers, applications. Handles large networks well without major performance issues. More cost-effective than competitors
Aspetti negativi:
Weaker support for cloud environments. Virtualization monitoring (VMware, Hyper-V). advanced configurations require technical expertise. Alert customization is not as intuitive. Some users find custom scripting and automation complex.
WhatsUp Gold
Commenti:
We use Whatsup Gold to proactively tell us when something is wrong before users start complaining. It has served us well in this capacity
We use WUG thresholds and netflow data to determine when business (and non-business) processes are interfering with user performance at our branches with limited network capacity. We use the netflow data and work with the branch to have the offending processes eliminated or moved to afterhours when there is no user impact.
We use thresholds and dashboard graphs to provide capacity planning information.
Overall WhatsUp Gold has been a mixed bag for us. There have been failed upgrades and bugs that cost us time. Page rendering is adequate at best and frustrating at its worst. But is has provided the monitoring alerting, and capacity planning that we need to stay ahead.
Aspetti positivi:
The ease of adding a device, and getting monitors configured with alerts is what like best. To go from no monitoring to getting a text/email when something goes wrong is relatively easy with this product. The ease of putting specific graph items on a page (dashboard) is also very useful.
Aspetti negativi:
The biggest problem with this product is the performance/capacity of the product to generate graphs. Using java to fetch data from the database to paint pages is slow. I can collect 500,000 data items and generate 100,000 graphs without much horsepower with a tool like CACTI which uses php and flat text rrd files to paint the graph. I can put ten times as many graphs on a page and it still paints 10 times faster. This performance limitation is the biggest week point between your products and the competition. I maintain a CACTI server to do the heavy lifting for graphing high density interface switches in the data centers because WUG is too slow. The thing that I like least about the software is the inability of the administrator to manage other users views. and the lack of an anonymous view. You want to be able to give upper management a link to click on to see pretty graphs and charts. They do not want to have to log in. And you do not want them messing up the view so it constantly has to be fixed. Logging in as admin, changing the users rights, logging out,logging in as the user, changing the dashboard, logging out, logging in as the admin and setting the rights back, is a lousy way to have to manage this.

WhatsUp Gold Review
Commenti: After everything was set up, we have had almost no issues. The customer support is great and the reps are great. The software has free updates which is awesome and the community board is very helpful. I would recommend this product to any IT environment that is looking for network monitoring solution.
Aspetti positivi:
It fits exactly what we need it to do. Monitor our devices and send us alerts when there is an issue. The schematic is also very helpful because we have it broken down into locations and grouped together to make things easier to use. It is also very helpful to put in all the information we have into the details of the device so that its all in one place. It helps us stay organized!
Aspetti negativi:
The set up was atrocious. We had to run a scan like 6 times to find everything. Eventually I had to add things in one by one which took forever. It is not simple to use. You have to really understand the icons and how things are linked within the software. I wished there was better documentation and videos about this. Especially with the setup. The whole installation and setup was a nightmare.

WUG CRA Experience
Commenti: Alerting and allowing us to be proactive on issues is main focus and WUG has allowed my team to accomplish that goal. Reporting/automating reports and providing different practices within CRA the option of personalized dashboards to gauge performance has been a favorite offering from IT to our end users.
Aspetti positivi:
Goes without saying that it is easy to implement, intuitive and easy to manage. Dashboards and views are ++++
Aspetti negativi:
been using WUG for over 10years and have brought in to 3 different companies i've worked for---to date, i haven't found anything I dislike.
