We performed a comparison between IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM), Nagios XI, and Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."I like the tool’s scalability and real-time reports. Earlier, we struggled to give real-time reports to clients. I also like the tool’s deployment model where we can deploy it either on-premises or in-house. We don’t have to carry the data all over the globe. Also, I am impressed with the tool's flow reporting and Wi-Fi."
"The out of the box reports and workflows are pretty good and they meet our requirements well."
"It's a great solution for highlighting and discovering useful information regarding our network's elements."
"Scalability. I have never had to worry about how to handle really big environments."
"One of the solution's biggest strengths is its capacity management performance, with out-of-the-box reports through NMS, as well as its ability to collect NetFlow-related data from devices. The collection of network performance and flow data is important because we have many critical business applications."
"SevOne has rich API capabilities, giving us the flexibility to control what we collect and customize the collection, creation, and manipulation of now metrics as necessary."
"One of the most valuable features is the graphs, which you can build instantly. I have used some open-source platforms in the past, but they are not as good. With SevOne, the sampling in the graph can be every few seconds, not just every few minutes, and that's really helpful. It's really fast."
"It's given us the ability to create various real-time network performance reports and distribute them to any colleague who can access these reports immediately."
"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"The most valuable features of Nagios XI are you can customize it based on your use case and requirements. It is flexible and easy to integrate with our systems. You can customize the solution by adding additional features using code."
"Nagios XI helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability. We have multiple servers to monitor databases, availability of servers, and ping."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"Real-time alerting is a very important feature. We need alerts for everything. We have alarms setup and get alerts through email or third-party integrations depending on what's happening – critical VMs, high CPU usage, security concerns."
"Would benefit with the addition of AI modules for proactive data insights."
"The reporting of NMS is good, but it could be better."
"The customizations are very hard. The person doing it has to be very good at analytics and has to be very good in all languages"
"We need to be thinking about streaming telemetry protocols. They already have the port for enhanced visualization, which they already have through Data Insight."
"The GUI: both the dashboard/user view and the admin tool."
"The tool needs improvement in non-Cisco SD-WAN."
"User-friendly, multi-tenancy."
"The reports are easy to configure but they are a bit outdated in terms of appearance and visualization."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"The PNP4Nagios plugin not working easily with XI is an issue for me, because some open source monitoring plugins do not work out of the box. But in the end, you learn to live with it."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."
