We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and Nagios Core based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like everything about this tool. I recommend this solution to anyone looking for a standalone solution with high availability meaning that can be used depending on the customers requirements."
"The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Operations Management is the dashboard presentation server."
"It is a very stable product."
"What I like best about BMC TrueSight Operations Management is that it allows you to do granular monitoring and improves VM load."
"Signature baselines, which have allowed us to fine tune many of our events and significantly reduce the number of events generated."
"Its event management capabilities are very open and flexible. I haven't seen a use case scenario with a customer that we couldn't actually solve the problem for, so it's really good. There are some interesting things that happen in an enterprise network (things that people don't normally expect), and the event management product is very flexible. You can solve problems as far as your imagination can go with it."
"The tool is flexible enough to be customized based on customer requirements."
"It has provided us with a single location to host all events to be viewed/monitored by our NOC. This has greatly helped them to streamline their processes."
"Dashboard provides monitor of total assets."
"The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner."
"The notifications are definitely one of the most valuable features of Nagios Core. We know what to look for and what to expect when things are down."
"Key features include the GUI interface, its notification capabilities, and the real-time reporting."
"It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to."
"The solution is quite efficient."
"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."
"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
"The pricing could be better."
"The dashboards are not good. We have a limited dashboard, and if we want better dashboards, we need to use other solutions like Grafana because the TrueSight dashboards are not good."
"I would like to see a little more out-of-the-box event correlation and expanded AIOps type capabilities. Where you can train your artificial intelligence operations to be able to memorize an issue once you encounter one scenario, so if you encounter that same problem, you can get to the root cause very quickly."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now."
"One of the things that the TrueSight environment is missing is some of the HA abilities. The data collection server called the ISM doesn't really have the HA functionality or workload balancing. It was missing from the previous product as well. It's missing redundancy."
"We have a unique use case because BMC typically sells this solution into enterprises that are deploying it within their IT, versus to a managed services provider like us where we're supporting thousands of customers. Multi-tenancy and the scalability have been challenges along the way, as we've grown... If anything could have gone better as we were ramping this up and adding a lot of volume to it, I would say it's the scalability. That would be one thing that could be improved."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"It would be nice if the company offered a sales or contract manager that was dedicated to our company so that we would have some sort of link to Nagios, and if we had issues or questions, we'd be able to contact them directly."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"It is a bit slow due to latency."
"The scalability needs improvement, it's not scalable at this time."
"Nagios Core can improve the graphical interface, it would make things a little easier."
"I would like to see more training videos."
"I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."
"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."
