CACTI: a simple and quite useful tool

Kommentare: We started using CACTI as a free tool and after validating some functionalities we acquired licensing, we used it for some specific projects where Cacti meets the requirements of the end client and we have started to use it in other projects in a transversal way.

Vorteile:

What I liked most about CACTI is that it is very simple to use, very intuitive and also easy to deploy, it does not require advanced knowledge.

Nachteile:

What I liked least about CACTI is that I see that it is widely used as a free tool but in reality it is a tool that has many functionalities.

One of the best open source monitoring tools

Kommentare: Solid monitoring for medium size company, fine for switches, firewalls, routers and all devices which supports snmp, syslog (so all devices)

Vorteile:

Easy to deploy, stable, flexible and fast.

Nachteile:

Scripts and plugins gets obsolete, but that's the "price" of open source = its free, sometimes you have to learn and script your way to get things done.

Cacti

Vorteile:

The ease of use and the capabilities it gives

Nachteile:

It is a good product I like all the features

CACTI: highly recommended for inexperienced users

Kommentare: A friend recommended the tool to me because I was not very expert, he showed me how he had it implemented in his company and I thought it was great. Afterwards we made contact to acquire it and the issue was very agile and we use it on a daily basis to monitor our grid.

Vorteile:

The tool is supremely intuitive, no great knowledge is needed to implement, configure or use it, apart from the real-time monitoring it is very agile

Nachteile:

The hiring issue was a little delayed. The rest has been very good.

CACTI
