We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability and Nagios Core based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 architecture and system's stability are simple."
"The Elastic User Interface framework lets us do custom development when needed. You need to have some Javascript knowledge. We need that knowledge to develop new custom tests."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"Good design and easy to use once implemented."
"It has always been a stable solution."
"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
"What I like about Nagios Core is that it helps me ensure everything is running smoothly by checking the status of hosts and services."
"Provides timely notifications."
"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."
"Nagios Core is stable."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"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."
"They need more skills in the market. There are not enough skills in the market. It is not pervasive enough on the market, in my opinion. In other words, there isn't a big enough user base."
"Elastic Observability is difficult to use. There are only three options for customization but this can be difficult for our use case. We do not have other options to choose the metrics shown, such as CPU or memory usage."
"If we had some pre-defined templates for observability that we could start using right away after deploying it – instead of having to build or to change some of the dashboards – that would be helpful."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"The auto-discovery isn't nearly as good. That's a big portion of it. When you drop the agent onto the JVM and you're trying to figure things out, having to go through and manually do all that is cumbersome."
"More web features could be added to the product."
"There could be more low-code features included in the product."
"The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities."
"I would like to see more training videos."
"The tool needs to improve the integrations."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"The mapping is a little hard."
"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."
"The core version is no match for the XI version."
"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."
"Nagios Core can improve the graphical interface, it would make things a little easier."
