We performed a comparison between Nagios XI and Nutanix Prism 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."The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"Nagios allows us to configure any device so that we can send pager alerts when people don't have access to emails. It also allows us to schedule downtime and maintenance."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"Prism Central is a single point to manage every cluster. Everything can be managed in one panel. Everything is there on the main page of the dashboard."
"The HTML5 interface is very robust."
"The auto-update option is a valuable feature for us."
"In the six years we have been using Nutanix Prism, we have never had a problem with stability."
"Nutanix Insights... does analytics on resource usage for all virtual machines to determine if they are using the allocated resources efficiently or if they are wasting them. It gives us insights into which virtual machines are using the resources over the past months or weeks or days, and which ones are not using them. That way, we can rearrange resource usage for the virtual machines."
"Prism's best features include the single point of failure (SPOF) and ease of implementation."
"The centralized management of Nutanix Prism is the best feature."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Prism is the single location management. You can manage everything from one location HTML5 web interface which is highly intuitive. The solution is easy to use, you do not need to be an expert in storage."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"The PNP4Nagios plugin not working easily with XI is an issue for me, because some open source monitoring plugins do not work out of the box. But in the end, you learn to live with it."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"With our previous storage solutions or hardware platforms, when there was a failing component, the replacement component was shipped out the next day. There was no user interaction needed for that process. With Nutanix, sometimes I have to open the ticket to begin the hardware issue... The process itself is not extremely clear and I've been assured that that process will be improved in the very near future."
"Each era every year, new economies arise and ways to develop the platform to improve both the interface with the end-user and to make the main load more flexible to the specialized user of the platform."
"Nutanix Prism could improve by having more features or configurations in the web interface. We should not have to use the command-line interface(CLI). For some clients using the CLI can be difficult."
"We're running VMware's ESX hypervisor and a lot of networking isn't done in Prism, it's done at the vCenter level. But for the few proofs of concept that I've done, Prism hasn't been a good experience because there's a lot of command-line work that needs to be done to configure the network."
"The solution does not support creating hybrid disc clusters."
"There can be some constraints on how it scales, making granular scaling difficult with the product."
"There is a bug with the HTML5 interface."
"Nutanix Prism can be more stable because it's not as stable as VMware."
