We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability 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."We use AppDynamics and Elastic. The reason why we're using Elastic APM is because of the license count. It's very favorable compared to AppDynamics. It's inexpensive; it's economical."
"We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it."
"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"Elastic Observability significantly improves incident response time by providing quick access to logs and data across various sources. For instance, searching for specific keywords in logs spanning over a month from multiple data sources can be completed within seconds."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search."
"The solution is open-source and helps with back-end logging. It is also easy to handle."
"The ability to ensure that the data is searchable and maintainable is highly valuable for our purposes."
"Our customers like that Nagios Core is an open source solution. It can be customized to our customers' specific needs."
"Dashboard provides monitor of total assets."
"We use the product to monitor server applications."
"Other products are good but from the configuration point of view Nagios is really very lightweight. The price is really good in my opinion. Another important thing is that my Nagios engine still works with Dual core 8GB ram for the last 10 years."
"It has made the life of the network operations staff more proactive in managing the resources of the infrastructure. It prevents disasters long before they can take place."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
"I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring."
"More web features could be added to the product."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"If we had some pre-defined templates for observability that we could start using right away after deploying it – instead of having to build or to change some of the dashboards – that would be helpful."
"They need more skills in the market. There are not enough skills in the market. It is not pervasive enough on the market, in my opinion. In other words, there isn't a big enough user base."
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"The interface could be improved."
"Elastic Observability’s price could be improved."
"Improving code insight related to infrastructure and network, particularly focusing on aspects such as firewalls, switches, routers, and testing would be beneficial."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."
"The tool needs to improve the integrations."
"Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI."
"It is a bit slow due to latency."
"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."
"Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available."
"We're using the free version, which limits us in terms of the things that we can do. If we had the paid version, a lot of our issues would probably go away. For example, we can't isolate instances that are being built or updated with the production ones. When they're being built, on Nagios, they're showing in red. It'd be nice to be able to partition those off until they're all green, and then we can bring them into the environment. This is probably because we've got the free version and not the paid version. If we went for the paid version, it would probably allow us to do exactly what we want to or remove the restrictions that we have, but if we are able to isolate instances in the free version, it would make life much easier."
