Cacti is a basic tool to present the modern graphic technologies and implementation of some other networking across the system. Hence, a powerful solution to all graphic customization and the latest templates overview with good skills. I can customize the site by allowing our selected people to make changes while others can only see the site without any interruption so, a fantastic tool to analyze the system detail with a protected environment. Nothing is difficult in its working, once installed can do its actions.

There are different versions of this single application so you need to download it’s all applications to get the maximum benefits that might be good for big-scale business but the other one may find this application a bit pricy. Its installation requires a speedy internet so, make sure a good networking across your system.

Cacti is a diverse application in its domain to make things quite challenging by resolving certain networking issues within the system. This application can choose the people to comment and make changes on our site and that maybe team members so the clients can watch the site with a fully protected version. There are different programs of this application and we are highly obliged to get the benefits from all features in a very short span of time. So, let’s have an awesome application to protect and secure the system with a wide range of networks.

A wonderful tool to perform a monitoring of your platform, both infrastructure and process. A light overload for the platform

The appear is not as beautiful as other like grafana. But it is enough.

A easy tool to do your platform monitoring

Platform monitoring

Cacti is fast, flexible and best of all it's open source. If our equipment doesn't support SNMP but does have some other API, we are able to write collection scripts for Cacti so that we can graph pretty much anything.

So far I haven't found anything I dislike about Cacti.

Since it is free, you can try it without losing anything.

Our engineers, technicians and support staff needed to see historical data for our in-house and customer servicing equipment. Cacti provides that to us and allows us to set granular permissions so we can even give a customer access to read-only view specific graphs if we choose.

Cacti is an excellent tool for monitoring the network graphs, it can poll the information from the network in a very fast and effective way.

As fo till date, there is nothing specific I can share about disliking this product.

We are doing real time monitoring of all the devices on a big screen allowing us to have a firm grip on our network availabiloity

It's free and is one the best graphs you can think about. If your network needs traffic plotting and you depend on it, it is a great tool and is straightforward to set up too. Open Source, Customizable, Live Traffic, low to no maintenance, and If there is a MIB or SNMP OID for something, Cacti can graph it.

Not significant apart from network interface graphing, Batter Alerts would be great, like in Zabbix or PRTG. While Cacti has a fantastic amount of customization options, it requires a large number of man-hours to get it working the way you want

Cacti`s Network Traffic Monitoring helps me keep an eye on my B.W. usages, and it helps me troubleshoot many of my issues without much effort, and this is for free. We can adjust network links and decide what connections need to be upgraded based on the information available in cacti.

We use Cacti for over 10 years.

It's a fundamental part of any network monitoring project we take part of.

It's easy to use, yet allows a lot of customisation.

The variety of graph templates is really good

The community around Cacti is getting smaller.

A lot of other "cooler" apps.

Very strong and detailed network monitoring for free

Cacti is simple to set up, can monitor pretty much any data source and makes it easy to build custom graphs (and alerts using the "thold" plugin).

The plugin' framework added in later versions makes it easily extensible and there are lots of excellent plugins. (earlier versions can be patched to have the plugin architecture too).

If there is no template for the device you want to monitor, you can create it yourself with ease.

Older versions had a rather low frequency and retention set up for RRA files by default, and changing this at a later date could be a pain.

Just give it a go, if creating a custom template seems complicated, just keep reading the docs and forums; however there are so many templates now, you shouldn't have to in 99% of cases.

Easily and clearly monitor services, applications and devices in detail. The simplicity of cacti means it's easy to visually see trends and resolve problems. There are lots of new fancy proprietary monitoring solutions out these days with interfaces so "flashy" they make the task of checking historical trends a nightmare, this is where Cacti is a breath of fresh air.

Open source, very easy to install and use. You can easily install it to the Redhat, debian, freeBSD or any unix system. The best part is the database management is so optimized that you don't need to tune very often.

There are lot of plug-ins' which are not updated to run in the newest version of Cacti. Network weather map is one of the best plug-in which really needed for better visual.

You can use it if you are using snmp to monitor your network devices.

Cacti is a MRTG tool that is used by most of the Internet service providers to monitor their network device's health and real time traffic. The network uptime is greatly improved which positively effects business performance.

We can have a complete network picture along with Backhaul downstream site. We can access all the information on One page

Search Criteria Of Cacti Is not goo and Efficient

It is highly recommended fro all the Telecom users who have to monitor POP and Backhaul link traffic

BH Traffic, Site Traffic, and Utilization of POP

Cacti is an open source RRD tool. It has built in templates. It is free to download. It provides application, performance and user management. All feeds can be modified and updated.

Using cacti can be overwhelming and confusing for new users. Customization can also be a tedious task at times. It does not let you automate tasks either.

Along with providing efficient management tools, it allows charting and monitoring data with complete customization.
