Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"Nagios XI helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability. We have multiple servers to monitor databases, availability of servers, and ping."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching."
"It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps."
"The tool is efficient in collecting, monitoring and evaluating logs."
"It's a very easy-to-use solution."
"The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable."
"Splunk has drawn our attention to how the network is running. If there are alarms on things that are not functioning, it gives us early warning on problems that could arise."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the data integration."
"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."
"Nagios XI can improve network and hardware monitoring, these parameters should be simplified to allow usage for monitoring. Additionally, if there was automatic reporting it would be helpful."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"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 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."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring's data analytics can be improved by including suggestions for various types of continuous monitoring."
"The clustering part of indexes can be more refined."
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
"We still use Splunk Enterprise licensing. A lot of the newer features go into Splunk Cloud before Enterprise. We're not looking to switch our licensing over, so we're falling behind on the newer features."
"It's a bit difficult to use. It takes some time to get into it and to get it to do what you would like it to do. It is not straightforward to use it."
"The product collects a lot of data but it does not assure that it collects all of it."
"The implementation can be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface."
