"The most valuable features of BMC TrueSight Operations Management are the blackouts and event management."
"I like the event management part."
"I like the deep-dive detail and end-user metrics data. The synthetic monitor is the best one. The best point of the new one is that there's no need for configuration. You can inject the Java script and start to change major developments in the application. This is a good approach, and we received all the data using this."
"Helix Innovation Studio is a very good feature. It allows us to develop our own enterprise applications and make them available for the customers."
"The tailoring of the knowledge modules has been particularly useful as I can streamline the agents to only report on critical events."
"I use the solution to monitor servers, databases, Windows, Linux, and web services."
"The solution provides visibility to our infrastructure, how it is, the resources we are monitoring, and quick updates when it has any problems. We have integrated it with ServiceNow to open instances."
"I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them."
"What I like about Nagios Core is that it helps me ensure everything is running smoothly by checking the status of hosts and services."
"Nagios Core is stable."
"It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to."
"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."
"We use the product to monitor server applications."
"Our customers like that Nagios Core is an open source solution. It can be customized to our customers' specific needs."
"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
"Deployment requires lots of resources (servers). It has too many consoles."
"The solution is overly complex."
"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
"I would really like to see out-of-the-box support for monitoring uninterruptible power supplies."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"This solution is lacking in application monitoring features. Technical support for this solution also needs improvement, particularly in product knowledge and response time."
"In a large company of our size, we need multiple people in our company trained. So, I have to take the training classes. Then, I have to go and train the rest of my organization. I would prefer to say to the other people on my team, "Go to this link and..." Or, "Here's a list of training sessions that you can go to which are online and that are free." I think it would help the adoption of their product in the marketplace, personally."
"The mapping is a little hard."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"I believe Nagios Core will need to provide an option for big data platforms in the future."
"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"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."
