We performed a comparison between Nagios Core and Nutanix Prism based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Nagios Core is stable."
"The most valuable feature depends on the project. It's great if you need to check to ensure a service is running 24/7. I can use the full solution for free, and it's flexible. If I need to add a dashboard, I can integrate it with Nagios. Cloud synchronization is wonderful."
"The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner."
"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."
"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 use the product to monitor server applications."
"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."
"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."
"For me, the speed of cloning virtual machines and the hyper-convergence feature are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The solution is a high-performance platform that effectively handles three-layered issues like SA and network fiber cables."
"The GUI and the dashboard are impressive. I like that you can modify the GUI and the dashboard as per your requirements."
"We can also manage our disaster recovery plan from a single console."
"Its scalability is valuable. It's scalable and fast."
"Before implementing Prism, we had an issue with too many alerts for similar issues, so it was difficult to maintain them. The alerts kept coming, and we had a hard time keeping track of everything. We had multiple alerts about CPU, RAM, and storage. Prism helps us identify and eliminate false alerts because most of them were redundant."
"Duplication and compression work for data in a hybrid solution."
"The most valuable features are Prism Central and the Disaster Recovery."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like to see more training videos."
"I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."
"It would be nice if the company offered a sales or contract manager that was dedicated to our company so that we would have some sort of link to Nagios, and if we had issues or questions, we'd be able to contact them directly."
"It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"It is a bit slow due to latency."
"Nagios Core does not have a graphic display."
"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."
"I would like to have some cluster management tools included."
"Nutanix Prism could improve by having more features or configurations in the web interface. We should not have to use the command-line interface(CLI). For some clients using the CLI can be difficult."
"There are a few areas related to visibility on the dashboard that can be improved. It's good, but the visibility can be improved in terms of single locations."
"I would like to see the capability to use FC SAN storage."
"The solution does not support creating hybrid disc clusters."
"The main area where an improvement could be made would be the pricing."
"When we get a request from a user for a file-level recovery, there are self-recovery options, but they only work if the replication is available to that cluster locally... In VMware, we could restore a VM and attach the hard drive to any other server and copy the file easily. But that kind of facility is not available in AHV."
"Perhaps the interface can be more intuitive."
