Complete monitoring of each of the labor networks.
Date: Feb 27 2023SummaryDespite the complicated main implementation that Pandora has, I believe that this platform, once correctly implemented, will provide continuous benefits, offering constant monitoring for each of the networks, you will be able to detect failures in time in the networks that you use for your company or For the offices of your employees, this platform automatically detects any type of Threat error that puts the data transferred through these networks at risk. I consider that Pandora has been a useful platform for our entire company, we have had a network monitoring that is quite complete, which has allowed us to detect lost packets in each of the networks and their failures, as well as a complete visualization of each of the IP for each network. I believe that within Pandora it has been really useful for the financial services company, maintaining security in all our networks and maintaining complete monitoring of activities and events on Windows or macOS computers.
PositivePandora has been a very useful software when it comes to having constant monitoring of various services, one of the main things I liked about this platform is the widespread control that it gives me for all the business networks that we use in our company financial services, this platform allows me to know the mapping of each of our networks, I can see how all the networks are distributed through a map, which allows me to see the connectivity that our computers, our devices and the servers that we use for our company. Recognize that Network monitoring is quite complete, it allows to visualize the flow and transfer of data, it allows to detect the total number of packets lost, it allows to detect failures in the connectivity between the servers and the devices and it also allows to detect an unusual consumption in the speed of the Network. In addition, I also liked the way in which this platform allows us to know about the events that occur in all our computers, I can view all the log records in real time with the help of Pandora.
NegativeThe only problem that can be found within Pandora is that this platform is complicated when implementing it for the first time, since you will have to integrate the queue with different applications in which you want to have monitoring, this process can take you a couple of days, therefore, it is very necessary that a trained team is used to facilitate the main implementation process, in addition, the integration process with each of the networks, can also be a bit complex, so in general, this platform is very complex to implement.

Extensive control in the administration of business networks.
Date: Apr 21 2023SummaryPandora has made it possible for us to be satisfied when it comes to controlling our company's bearing networks, with the help of this platform we have been able to monitor the devices connected to our networks much more closely, the connectivity within the cloud and we can also configure latency service and packet forwarding within networks. In general, the experience that I have obtained within Pandora has been quite good, it has helped me to control all the networks satisfactorily, it has allowed me to establish a latency limit or a data transfer limit for each Network, in addition, that platform helped me it helps to visualize the flow of data, it allows me to share files between the cloud and the network or between the devices connected to the networks, in addition, Pandora helps me to closely monitor what happens in our applications, I can detect failures in applications used by our employees, the Pandora service allows detecting failures in time, so that the applications work correctly. I believe that I will continue to use it in the long term, due to its great effectiveness in controlling the business networks of our financial company.
PositivePandora FMS helps to improve the way in which various business networks are inspected and monitored, the main positive aspect of this platform is in relation to its excellent monitoring of network services, the complete platform in this regard, since it provides a panel quite complete and very well managed where the various data of the networks can be reflected, you can configure the routing, configure the Subnet mask and you can also configure the sending of packets through various business networks, in addition, you can also control the latency of each one of the networks, really this complete labor network inspection section helps me understand how all the networks we use in the company are connected, I can visualize a mapping service within the platform which helps me understand the distribution of these networks also allows me to understand the health status of each routing network, controlling the sending of packets correctly. The second positive aspect of this platform is the operation in real time, this operation in real time allows failures in time within each of the networks, in addition, it offers a graphic service where you can see the upload and download of packages in each one of your networks connected to the cloud, these graphs will help you transfer packets. Pandora FMS also has an impressive alert service, which allows you to configure it so that alerts are sent depending on the latency of your networks, you can configure these alerts to be activated when there is a latency of approximately 200ms.
NegativeThe first negative aspect of this platform is in relation to how complicated its implementation is, implementing this platform from scratch is quite complex, since you have to configure the enrollment networks correctly, in addition, you also have to configure the alerts and the devices connected to the networks to favor the network mapping function, this process can take a couple of weeks depending on your work team, but in general, the main implementation of this platform is quite complex. Another negative aspect of this platform is the high cost that it has, despite the fact that this platform has great accessibility to your routing networks, and allows you to control the way it offers other services such as application event monitoring, which increases Even more its price, I consider this platform to be relatively expensive compared to other network monitoring platforms.
