Pandora : The monitoring tool

Commentaires : The monitoring of our business needs a special vision to understand the values received by the monitoring. By adding Python script to manage data in entry, and PHP special views to give correct dashboard, it's a very powerful tool, that gives exact vision of the currently health of your system.

Avantages :

The Pandora offers a large number of function, growing every month to cover all monitoring. It's customizable through PHP pages, Python Script, and can become a very dedicated monitoring tool. But, as a standard tool, with the Community Version (unpaid), it is already very powerful if you take time to configure properly. With the forum and bi-monthly update, it's always reactive to improvement and correction.

Inconvénients :

The default views are a bit too much for developers and IT Manager. Needs some development to make it a great tools.

A very reliable and easy to use solution for network monitoring

Commentaires : It really does for what we have purchased it and that's it, so, overall, we are really happy with its output. Other than that if they improve their support it can really give a better customer experience.

Avantages :

For us, Pandora FMS proved to be a unique and very flexible solution for system monitoring, and it helped our organization a lot. Pandora FMS has a combination of many good features and it easily fits the organization with big environment. Our organization is multi OS environment and it really fits this criteria, and this was the main reason for finalizing Pandora FMS.

Inconvénients :

I have complaints about their support, they are not bad but they really need to improve it to give a better customer experience. The second and last suggestion I am having for them is that they should make their graphics more futuristic to give them a good look.

Room to improve

Avantages :

The thing I like the most it's the easy of deploy. It's like "bring your own monitoring service", you set it up and you use it. So it only depends on you and that it's great if you know what you are doing and you want to personalize everything.

Inconvénients :

The worst thing about Pandora it's the lack of some basic functionalities like other products offer like correlation of metrics and the horrible UX. Something as basic as server monitoring needs to be configured when in other products you just install their agent and that's it. Some monitors in pandora needs that configuration.

Reliable network monitoring solution

Commentaires : There is improved operations from critical security fixes. Early detection of network failures enables us to come up with solution before it is too late. Data virtualization has enhanced secure collaboration and effective application performance.

Avantages :

Pandora FMS has efficient network system that blocks cyber attacks. It notifies IT team when there is security hitches in the workflow infrastructure. This tool has automated reporting system that provides performance algorithms.

Inconvénients :

The performance capabilities displayed by this product since we deployed it has been great.

Pandora FMS the perfect balance between price and quality.

Commentaires : In general, a good experience where I have been asked to monitor several servers with Windows and Linux operating systems, as well as network devices, where I have to make SNMP queries and report the health of the device, to generate trends and performance.

Avantages :

I like about Pandora FMS that infrastructure monitoring can be implemented in a simple way, it already has several integrated templates, so you just have to choose what you want to monitor the device and that's it, the configuration has already been applied.

Inconvénients :

I would like you to improve the part where a template or configuration has already been applied, now modify it, in some cases you have to understand what the script is doing.

Pandora FMS automates routine tasks so that you don't have to

Commentaires : The best thing about it is that you can use SNMP, Windows server, Linux server, a large number of distributions, Apple computers, and other devices to watch any kind of network device.

Avantages :

I like that the software can be used to watch both Windows and Linux servers. I also like that it can be installed in different ways. The customer service is great because they respond quickly, and the dashboard view makes it easy to monitor.

Inconvénients :

It might be hard to understand tool at first. but it gets easier once you put in the work and time to look at all the benefits. Maybe an involved audience would help people feel more at ease faster. Not much else to worry about once you learn how to use software.

Pandora FM(ye)S Please!!

Commentaires : Started with the virtual appliance which made testing the product easy for evaluation. Once the decision was made it was decided to build as per the easy to follow instructions on the website for a CentOS distribution. It has been a solid experience backed with support by Pandora FMS team and the community. Customization was simple with the module library.

Avantages :

Pandora FMS allows our company to accurately maintain an up to the minute easy to digest visual on inventory and security through out our network for certain industry compliance of workstations and servers. We are a multi OS environment and Pandora FMS fits nicely as it supports all our Operating Systems with provided modules.

Inconvénients :

Better support for custom themes would be greatly appreciated. Ability to have a dashboard with all assets displayed with quick hover over status. Think at-a-glance style view of all assets on one page. Would make it easy for Data center admins to get an overall picture.

The Flexiblest Monitoring System

Commentaires : It helps my job to be more proactive instead of reactive, I have all the visibility of my critical infrastructure.

Avantages :

I love the flexibility of the system, iI always say it is like a 'blank' sheet of paper, you can 'write' anything on it. The ore you know the system, the more you can do with it...

Inconvénients :

It could be better at the 'factory default' reports and graphics, the look n' feel of the graphics too.

Pandora FMS makes my job easier

Commentaires : Pandora FMS has helped us manager the increased network workload ( because of the pandemic ) amazingly .

Avantages :

The color scheme of the Tactical View makes it easy to differentiate between the different metrics you follow . Plus ,you can customize the reports you get to show only what you need them to . The automated device discovery often saves me a lot of time .

Inconvénients :

While thorough , the network mapping process takes longer than ideal. The initial setup is complicated and the program overall is not the most intuitive to use .

Easy start, some implications with special scenarios

Commentaires : Easier to deploy than Zabbix

Avantages :

Easy to deploy, out-of the box predefined monitoring, easy customizable alters.

Inconvénients :

Some features only aviable in the paid edition

Keeping it flexible and looking good.

Commentaires : Recently, as a self taught programmer, I've been dabbing into the thought of setting up a personal server, and sooner or later starting to monitor my (ever-growing) infrastructure. During my research on the software side of things for this process, I've come across many monitoring solutions. The one that has most drawn my attention would probably be Pandora FMS. Firstly because they offer the chance to decide wether you'll need to pay for their Enterprise Edition, or if you'll stick with the open source Community Edition. That to me is a big factor since my infrastructure doesn't have the size and doesn't generate the need to pay in order to keep it monitored for now. In this sense, Pandora FMS has a very large edge over others.
Furthermore, the fact that the developers are from Spain, and although I know English, make any possible language barrier in general easier to surpass for me,considering I'm from Perú. I know this may sound as a silly thing to rescue on a product review, but being able to receive support in your own language is always something that I'm very grateful for.
Don't get me wrong, their support mainly replies and communicates in English, but in case you're a Spanish speaker, this might appeal to you as well.

Pandora FMS promising solution to replace decades of diverse mix of legacy solutions.

Commentaires : We have in our day to day work responsibility for Local, National and International installations.
For decades we made our own solutions, tested most well known third party solutions.
But still we have not found the total solution to replace all we have in use up to now.
FMS looks promising, but we have not succeeded to make it our ultimate resolution.

Avantages :

GUI based application to replace legacy solutions, in order to be more productive.

Inconvénients :

We tried to setup and test without help, this appears to be a hard road to go. Guidelines and examples to this stage would be very welcome. This is the major reason we are still not using FMS in poduction.

Excellent Server and Network Management System

Commentaires : Overall it has headed in the perfect direction by providing the great platform for managing all of my servers and netowks in one place over the cloud.

Avantages :

It fulfill all my necessities in managing my networks and servers by providing a detail report and analysis of all of my resources . I can quickly watch if any of my virtual machine or network is disconnected.

Inconvénients :

On linux its a bit confusing to use and setup and for a beginner it can be harder to setup i suggest them to provide a detail walkthroughs and report for beginners.

A really complete toolkit

Commentaires : As a self employed sysadmin, I manage infrastructures for third parties on a daily basis. After trying to monitor efficiently with other solutions, I have come to the conclusion that in terms of price and practicality, Pandora FMS just has very little competition.
Basically they're offering a better service and more customisation options than any other monitoring solution out there, for basically a fraction of the price. Plus they still offer their Open Source Community Edition, which is great to just explore the software or use it on medium sized infrastructures. Really, even if it's open source it's quite powerful.
I personally use the Enterprise Edition because of some additional features it has compared to the Community version, but I'd still recommend any of both as solutions for your everyday monitoring. Pandora FMS helps me keep a more organised dashboard configuration for each of my customers, and makes me be more efficient when completing processes for them.

Pandora is just Amazing for Network Monitoring.

Pandora FMS made my day

Commentaires : I was looking for a monitoring solution to monitor more than 50 databases (different brands such as Mysql and Oracle), after a while I found a complete solution to add to the same dashboard every single application (CRM, Ticketing System, ...) of the infrastructure along with key performance indicator like RAM, CPU, Disk memory, bandwidth, etc It took me one day to handle the product and start adding other components to the monitoring dashboard. Quite flexible and easy to adapt. Cons: I miss some templates by default to start monitoring as soon as possible

Great Tracking Software

Commentaires : Keeping track of network.

Avantages :

You can keep up with data on your system.

Inconvénients :

There is not any improvements needed at this time.

Monitoring Software

Avantages :

This product seems really thorough. I would definitely want to implement if I had more money to do so.

Inconvénients :

It is expensive. You can start off with a trial, but their NMS & Enterprise licenses are in the 1000’s.

Pandora’s free version is amazing

Avantages :

I love that even we are only trying this software and using the free version it works really well. It has saved time to our collaborators and made our job easier and better.
