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."Integration with Netscaler and Scoutbees can provide a proper end-to-end analysis of the user's experience and give us a real ROI."
"The most valuable feature is the granularity of visibility into the resources that are in use by our applications."
"When using ControlUp, the core feature that we have found valuable is its UI. It is a valuable tool to view the analysis reactions of a base core Level 2 or Level 1 team so that they can complete the necessary troubleshooting."
"ControlUp has an easy installation process."
"It shows you so many details of what's going on in that log-on that, if there's a problem, you can identify it in five minutes."
"The script-based actions have allowed us to extend the core reporting capabilities."
"ControlUp is beneficial as it provides a web interface through which you can access all your infrastructure—servers, devices, and VDI infrastructure—all on the same platform. It supports gathering all infrastructure components in a single, unified dashboard. This helps you identify performance issues or high resource utilization, allowing quick troubleshooting. I appreciate the solid interface that ControlUp offers."
"It has a great career time monitoring tool."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"The graphical user interface needs to be improved from version to version."
"This solution be improved by including load throttling tools. For example, I can identify a service where we spend a lot of CPU but I cannot restrict the service from ControlUp. I have to use another tool like AppSense."
"ControlUp could improve the integration. Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop monitoring has better integration."
"There was some lag earlier, and reports pulled from the dashboard would sometimes be half an hour old. But now, the information provides real-time status, which is greatly appreciated. Overall, I've seen improvement in the product."
"Something I would love to see from a partner perspective would be maybe a way to do this in a surface hosting provider."
"Integration is always a problem, and we feel that we are doing our best and the service provider thinks they are doing their best. I guess if ControlUp's system could be more capable or if people could understand the integration part, that would be better."
"Solve is a quick and intuitive tool for quickly mapping data together, however, once you have the view of the data that you like, it is difficult to share this with colleagues."
"It can be improved by including script-based scheduling."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"We often need to develop custom plugins to get Nagios to work the way we want it to work because the features we need are not always available in Nagios."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
