We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management 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."The tailoring of the knowledge modules has been particularly useful as I can streamline the agents to only report on critical events."
"The solution has a very good business event manager tool."
"It allows our operations team to have one single application to reference when investigating issues in our environment."
"The initial setup of BMC TrueSight Operations Management was easy."
"The noise reduction for ticketing works much better than we have seen in a lot of other companies."
"We're using native monitoring capabilities for all our server hardware, for visibility for applications, for URLs, for webpage response and accuracy, and for monitoring network throughput in a lot of particular instances. We're using lightweight protocols for pinging, for DNS, for LDAP."
"The most valuable features of the solution are alert management, alert generation, and event management."
"It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is it allows us to develop and add as many plugins as we want."
"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."
"I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them."
"Nagios Core is stable."
"The solution is quite efficient."
"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."
"Our customers like that Nagios Core is an open source solution. It can be customized to our customers' specific needs."
"I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring."
"One of the things that the TrueSight environment is missing is some of the HA abilities. The data collection server called the ISM doesn't really have the HA functionality or workload balancing. It was missing from the previous product as well. It's missing redundancy."
"I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier."
"More modules for less popular applications and better documentation."
"The solution is a little obsolete."
"In our company, we faced some issues with the solution’s application endpoint, IP, and the physical location of the transactions."
"The graphs are extremely limited. We don't have a lot of dashboard options. To make reports and dashboards more useful, we usually need to integrate some dashboard solutions."
"Specifically around application performance monitoring, BMC is definitely not the market leader. The Dynatraces, the New Relics and the like are more of the market leaders in that space. I would like to see them grow that space a little bit more aggressively. It has not really been their bread and butter."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could use some enhancements in the application visibility tools."
"Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI."
"The core version is no match for the XI version."
"The scalability needs improvement, it's not scalable at this time."
"The user interface could be more interactive because it is pretty basic."
"Nagios Core does not have a graphic display."
"It is a bit slow due to latency."
"Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available."
"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."
