Easy to install/configure/customise. > > **Cons**: There is very little negative to say about the product. My only wish-list item is for an \*Unlimited/repeat\* escalation option beyond the provided 10 to allow for notifications on offline services only once business hours commences. > > As a telecommunications provider with a country wide presence, we rely heavily on to-the-minute alerting, live graphical statistics and reporting. Nmis provides the flexibility to satisfy all of those requirements. As an early adopter of the software, we have since customised it to send daily reports used to check trends based on the RRD data, unique alerting/graphing on custom models/OID's for things like QFP throughput on ISRs. ----- ### "Hidden gem in a sea of network monitoring software" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *11 January 2023* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Reliability, ease of use, ability to self-host, absolutely excellent documentation, and an OUTSTANDING support team that goes above and beyond to make sure my needs are met. > > **Cons**: I wish that the OpManTek tools updated automatically. But, after talking with support, I understand that this could possibly break the tool and because I rely on it for monitoring my network I would rather avoid breaking the tour. > > NMIS does not get the attention it deserves. Email marketing, social media, and my peers push the big names of network monitoring and management my way, but when I found NMIS and met the support team, I knew I found a diamond. The system is built on a rock-solid foundation (Linux OS and a frequently updated open-source network monitoring application tool kit). Once configured, I know I can rely on this system to run constantly in the background and notify me of network events, including surges in the usage of network bandwidth, and help me locate the source of any disruption. In an industry saturated with expensive SaaS solutions, NMIS delivers results, and the team supporting it is passionate about the solution and dedicated to my success. ----- ### "Data Driven Decisions" — 4.0/5 > **Jordan** | *12 March 2021* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: NMIS is hands down one of the best data collection monitoring suites we have ever used. The data and enriched alerting it provides is exactly what we were looking for to make data-driven network decisions for upgrade and growth. It has set us on the path from reactive to proactive\! > > **Cons**: This is both a con and a pro. This software is not an easy install and gets going product. As part of implmentation, you must really outline your practice and process as well as goals that you want to achieve. Also as you onboard new devices, the process of modeling them to collect the data you want is time-consuming. The average user will not be able to maintain and work on the back end of this software, but because of its complexity, you gain more control than you have ever had before. > > It has been an eye-opening and a learning experience. We continue to learn more and more about our network with insights we have never had before. We have been able to use the data provided and collected to drive home several large projects that upon completion have improved our network stability by leaps and bound. We continue to find new and useful ways to implement and integrate the OMK platform into many of our other tools and practices. I could not be more excited about what comes next\! ----- ### "Not just software, a true partner" — 5.0/5 > **Bill** | *31 March 2021* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is flexible and while most things we needed were available out of the box, we were also able to easily extend functionality to cover the things that weren't. The software scales well and we have grown to scale out to 10x our initial deployment as far as node count. The system is entirely Linux-based and happily runs on the well-supported open source distributions. We have the option of using a preconfigured virtual appliance or installing on our standard Linux distribution. Management can be done through the GUI and/or command line enabling scripting of many aspects of system administration > > **Cons**: This NMIS8 interface we started with was a bit stale, but this was greatly improved with NMIS9. > > The software itself is great and the support is outstanding. We were able to deploy the system quickly and easily. When we've had issues, we were able to get directly with the engineers at Opmantek and get our problem resolved quickly and efficiently. We've worked with the support team and learned to create custom models so we can monitor every device on the network. As the administrator of the system, I pretty much never have to say "no" when I am asked "Can it do this?". The documentation is intuitive and complete as well. With NMIS and Opmantek we have a true partner that we can rely on to make sure we are on top of any issues on our network and have good data and analytics to make sure our customers get top-notch service. ----- ### "NMIS for the win" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *2 March 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it's agentless, and when you do need support you get quickly connected to engineers, not jumping through hoops and waiting. We run NMIS on linux, for the open source advantage. We also use Opmantek Open Audit for inventory, it's possible to run both Open Audit and NMIS on the same system easily with the appliance > > **Cons**: System is very flexible and customizable, in not always simple ways. But the outstanding documentation makes any learning curve involved easier. > > NMIS is open-source, with a complete wiki and active community support, and has been around for many years. Has proven to be a very valuable tool for managing a large group of servers proactively. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/240624/nmis?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/240624/nmis) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
