"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is it allows us to develop and add as many plugins as we want.""Dashboard provides monitor of total assets.""The solution is quite efficient.""Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it.""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 most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system.""Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens.""It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to."

More Nagios Core Pros →

Cons
"The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved.""The dashboard needs to improve.""We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities."

More Avantra Cons →

"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way.""Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available.""There is room for improvement in the graphics.""Making it a little easier to configure and set up from the start would help. There are multiple layers that you have to wade through to be able to set it up, to do it the right way, and to get it to do what you want it to do.""We're using the free version, which limits us in terms of the things that we can do. If we had the paid version, a lot of our issues would probably go away. For example, we can't isolate instances that are being built or updated with the production ones. When they're being built, on Nagios, they're showing in red. It'd be nice to be able to partition those off until they're all green, and then we can bring them into the environment. This is probably because we've got the free version and not the paid version. If we went for the paid version, it would probably allow us to do exactly what we want to or remove the restrictions that we have, but if we are able to isolate instances in the free version, it would make life much easier.""Nagios Core can improve the graphical interface, it would make things a little easier.""The core version is no match for the XI version.""Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI."
