Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros -The user interface and graphical user interface are straightforward and easy to use, updates are effortless to implement. -It can easily monitor city platforms, databases, servers, etc. -You can customize the notification, being based on Nagios, it is mighty and swift to use. It's the best IT monitoring solution. It can monitor cloud, server and database flawlessly. It monitors core performance and resources. Very easy to deploy and check Azure cloud performance. Cons -The front-end design is a bit outdated and can be improved for the user's better experience. Other than that, everything works fine and effortless. Overall it's an outstanding IT monitoring solution.	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Well designed interface and simple steps to perform main actions. Very flexible reports constructor showed big possibilities of building a big variety of different templates that eased our work. Quick support response helped us to understand some other features and solve small connection issues. In comparison with other similar programs, the price of TNI is very affordable. Easy to use. Simple interface. Automatically scans my network and builds reports (exactly what I need). Helps to keep track of installed software or replaced hardware. Cheap in price but good in quality. Cons The absence of a web interface or having common access to the program. These inconveniences made our colleagues separate the usage of the program. It'd be great if we could save and store our data like to an SQL-database. No software is perfect. This one lacks web-based interface and SQL-based database.
