Nagios Core Pros review quotes

Other products are good but from the configuration point of view Nagios is really very lightweight. The price is really good in my opinion. Another important thing is that my Nagios engine still works with Dual core 8GB ram for the last 10 years.

Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens.

It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to.

The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system.

Key features include the GUI interface, its notification capabilities, and the real-time reporting.

It has made the life of the network operations staff more proactive in managing the resources of the infrastructure. It prevents disasters long before they can take place.

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.

I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them.

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.

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.

We're using the free version, which limits us in terms of the things that we can do. If we had the paid version, a lot of our issues would probably go away. For example, we can't isolate instances that are being built or updated with the production ones. When they're being built, on Nagios, they're showing in red. It'd be nice to be able to partition those off until they're all green, and then we can bring them into the environment. This is probably because we've got the free version and not the paid version. If we went for the paid version, it would probably allow us to do exactly what we want to or remove the restrictions that we have, but if we are able to isolate instances in the free version, it would make life much easier.

Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down.

The core version is no match for the XI version.

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.

It is a bit slow due to latency.

There is room for improvement in the graphics.
