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."I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"The product has connectors to many services."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"Elastic APM has plenty of features, such as the Elastic server for Kibana and many additional plugins. It's a comprehensive tool when used as a logging platform."
"It has always been a stable solution."
"Good design and easy to use once implemented."
"Its diverse set of features available on the cloud is of significant importance."
"The price is very less expensive compared to the other solutions."
"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 solution is quite efficient."
"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."
"What I like about Nagios Core is that it helps me ensure everything is running smoothly by checking the status of hosts and services."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner."
"It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to."
"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
"There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."
"The solution needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages."
"Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"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."
"The interface could be improved."
"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 an excellent product for monitoring and visibility, but it lacks predictive analytics. Most solutions are aligned with the AIOps requirements, but this piece is missing in Elastic and should be included."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"The core version is no match for the XI version."
"Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"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."
"The user interface could be more interactive because it is pretty basic."
"The scalability needs improvement, it's not scalable at this time."
"Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does."
