Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is pretty stable."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."
"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."
"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."
"The security features are very valuable."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"We often need to develop custom plugins to get Nagios to work the way we want it to work because the features we need are not always available in Nagios."
"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."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"The reporting could be improved."
"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time."
"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."
"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."
"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
"They could improve the UI."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
