Pros
"Being open source lets us customize it for our monitoring needs, saving us money.""It is easier for client installation, and the configurations are doable even for a newcomer in the field.""Nagios Fusion version 12.8 excels in user-friendly GUI design, cost-effectiveness, and ease of deployment.""It's very easy to manage and monitor it."

More Nagios Fusion Pros →

"The tool is efficient in collecting, monitoring and evaluating logs.""The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex.""The alerts are the most valuable feature.""It is very easy to monitor multiple cloud environments. It's like a single pane of glass for us. We can use it to monitor our on-prem and both of our cloud environments as opposed to having different tools for each environment. It makes it all come together in one tool.""It can monitor, get the data, and then report on the data.""The feature I find most valuable, is the data integration.""The most valuable thing that we have seen within our group is the ability to ingest all this raw data and have it organized in a certain way so that different groups can get effective alerting from this massive amount of raw data that is out there.""The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching."

Cons
"In future iterations of this solution, there is a desire for more seamless integration with other monitoring software.""Nagios Fusion should include a 'remember me' option when logging in, so we don't need to enter a username and password every time.""There are some bugs, although not that many. There are some situations where the solution is not stable but the number of problems is not very high.""Adding application performance monitoring to the product alongside infrastructure monitoring would make it a more complete and useful solution."

More Nagios Fusion Cons →

"We still use Splunk Enterprise licensing. A lot of the newer features go into Splunk Cloud before Enterprise. We're not looking to switch our licensing over, so we're falling behind on the newer features.""The solution should have more sensors regarding fiber intelligence for security measures.""This solution is difficult to configure and the instructions are complex.""In the next release, I would like to see more integration with other solutions.""It's a bit difficult to use. It takes some time to get into it and to get it to do what you would like it to do. It is not straightforward to use it.""The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users.""The product collects a lot of data but it does not assure that it collects all of it.""It would be useful if they provided some help pages. If you don't know too much about the tool, there should be more documentation readily available. It would be useful if they had a help button embedded in the solution so you could ask questions and get answers."
