We performed a comparison between Nagios Core and Nutanix Prism based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is the ability to check the availability of the server for network connectivity. Additionally, the interface is good."
"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature depends on the project. It's great if you need to check to ensure a service is running 24/7. I can use the full solution for free, and it's flexible. If I need to add a dashboard, I can integrate it with Nagios. Cloud synchronization is wonderful."
"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
"Provides timely notifications."
"We use the product to monitor server applications."
"The auto-update option is a valuable feature for us."
"For me, the speed of cloning virtual machines and the hyper-convergence feature are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"Nutanix is a HCA product and includes VMware called Nutanix Express that has been fantastic for us. We have about 100 plus VMs without any trouble and we have VCDR."
"The solution's technical support is helpful and responsive."
"It's easy to spin up VMs and makes cluster maintenance easy, especially with the LCM (Life Cycle Manager) that is built-in. That helps do installs of AHV or even ESXi. You can also upgrade the AOS software that runs the Nutanix clusters. And you can upgrade the firmware, which is nice."
"The storage management is one of the best."
"Nutanix has one of the greatest support organizations that I've ever had to use. They're polite, you get someone on the phone fast, and they always find a solution for you."
"Simplicity of use."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Nagios Core does not have a graphic display."
"It is a bit slow due to latency."
"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."
"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."
"Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does."
"It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through."
"Making it a little easier to configure and set up from the start would help. There are multiple layers that you have to wade through to be able to set it up, to do it the right way, and to get it to do what you want it to do."
"Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available."
"There are some things that you can only do via the command line. Over the years that I've been using Nutanix, they've slowly integrated those into Prism, but they're still trying to catch up with a solution that has been around longer, like VMware."
"No integration of commands to manage AHV."
"Nutanix Prism can be more stable because it's not as stable as VMware."
"The simplicity that Prism provides is something of a dual-edged sword. It can be almost too simple at times. When there is an issue and something is really wrong, it can make it a little more difficult to track it down because the Prism interface is very limited for drilling down into those highly technical or highly complicated errors."
"On the technical side, although you don't need a shutdown to upgrade Nutanix, for downgrading you do. If it were possible that when downgrading CPU or memory you didn't have to reboot the VM, that would be very helpful for us."
"The process of converting and importing virtual machines to the Nutanix environment is quite complicated."
"Some of the products are not interoperable for multi-cloud or multi-site tasks."
"The licensing cost has room for improvement."
