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."What I like most about Cisco Intersight is its manageability."
"I like Intersight because of the integration with HashiCorp, Kubernetes, and each cloud because Intersight is the IO module."
"Scalable portfolio of services for remote device management, with good cloud integration. It's also easy to set up."
"The product has good integration."

"Intersight can validate our environment."
"Cisco Intersight has valuable features for workflow automation and inventory administration."
"Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure."

"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."
"Dashboard provides monitor of total assets."

"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."
"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."

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

"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."
"I believe Nagios Core will need to provide an option for big data platforms in the future."
