We performed a comparison between ControlUp 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."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."
"Security, uptime, and reduced capital expenditures are the main reasons we use ControlUp. So basically, the money that we consume is based on the amount of time we are using a service."
"ControlUp has an easy installation process."
"The most valuable feature is the granularity of visibility into the resources that are in use by our applications."
"The most valuable features in ControlUp are endpoint monitoring and the many features that are available."
"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."
"It has a great career time monitoring tool."
"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is the ability to check the availability of the server for network connectivity. Additionally, the interface is good."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"The solution is quite efficient."
"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."
"Nagios Core is stable."
"Dashboard provides monitor of total assets."
"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."
"ControlUp could improve the integration. Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop monitoring has better integration."
"Something I would love to see from a partner perspective would be maybe a way to do this in a surface hosting provider."
"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."
"The most common complaint that I have heard, at least within our organization, is about reporting. They have their own reporting. It's just that it doesn't yet include everything that you can look at within the application. You can only report on specific metrics or collections."
"We'd like to see the mobile app working again so that we can get alerts 24/7. This is especially useful for the person on call."
"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."
"It can be improved by including script-based scheduling."
"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."
"I would like to see more training videos."
"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."
"Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available."
"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 could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI."
"The mapping is a little hard."
"The tool needs to improve the integrations."
"I believe Nagios Core will need to provide an option for big data platforms in the future."
