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 initial setup of BMC TrueSight Operations Management was easy."
"The tailoring of the knowledge modules has been particularly useful as I can streamline the agents to only report on critical events."
"The major advantage of the product is estate management."
"It has provided us with a single location to host all events to be viewed/monitored by our NOC. This has greatly helped them to streamline their processes."
"The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Operations Management is the dashboard presentation server."
"It allows our operations team to have one single application to reference when investigating issues in our environment."
"It is a very stable product."
"We can verify uptimes as another source of keeping devices in compliance."
"The solution is quite efficient."
"Provides timely notifications."
"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them."
"We use the product to monitor server applications."
"The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is the ability to check the availability of the server for network connectivity. Additionally, the interface is good."
"The UI for the end users could be improved and more flexible than it is now."
"One of the things that the TrueSight environment is missing is some of the HA abilities. The data collection server called the ISM doesn't really have the HA functionality or workload balancing. It was missing from the previous product as well. It's missing redundancy."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"The dashboards are not good. We have a limited dashboard, and if we want better dashboards, we need to use other solutions like Grafana because the TrueSight dashboards are not good."
"More modules for less popular applications and better documentation."
"The solution is a little obsolete."
"Application performance management (APM) is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement. I"
"I definitely would like to see more improvement in the self-diagnostics. I need to know when anything is not working or collecting, long before our customer finds it."
"Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available."
"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."
"I would like to see more training videos."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"The user interface could be more interactive because it is pretty basic."
"Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI."
"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."
"Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does."
