We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management 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."I like the deep-dive detail and end-user metrics data. The synthetic monitor is the best one. The best point of the new one is that there's no need for configuration. You can inject the Java script and start to change major developments in the application. This is a good approach, and we received all the data using this."
"Valuable features include wide support for monitoring, strong event management, service management capability, baselining (analytics) and easy to integrate other tools with it."
"I use the solution to monitor servers, databases, Windows, Linux, and web services."
"Signature baselines, which have allowed us to fine tune many of our events and significantly reduce the number of events generated."
"It is a stable solution."
"It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"From an administrative standpoint, what stands out in TrueSight is the ability to implement quickly. When they have a requirement to monitor something, we're able to turn that on quickly in their environment. We're able to set up new apps within a day."
"The most valuable features are the rich reports, high performance, and the look and feel of the WebEx webpage are very good."
"I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them."
"The solution is quite efficient."
"The most valuable feature depends on the project. It's great if you need to check to ensure a service is running 24/7. I can use the full solution for free, and it's flexible. If I need to add a dashboard, I can integrate it with Nagios. Cloud synchronization is wonderful."
"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."
"The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is it allows us to develop and add as many plugins as we want."
"It would be better if the initial setup and deployment were more straightforward."
"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."
"The solution is a little obsolete."
"This solution is lacking in application monitoring features. Technical support for this solution also needs improvement, particularly in product knowledge and response time."
"Reporting would be an area for improvement in TrueSight... We have almost 800 customers today on TrueSight and just under 10,000 assets. We need to be able to give a customer some information. If the customer's product fails, they'll ask us, "Did it have a problem beforehand?" We have all those events and we know all the problems it had beforehand. We have to be able to give them access to that kind of reporting. That's an enhancement that we need."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"The mapping is a little hard."
"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."
"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."
"Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does."
