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."Setting up the monitoring agents was straightforward."
"The solution offers great visibility that allows you to track where errors originated."
"I like Business iQ the most, so far. It has great analytics configurations and I can get real-time updates. We have eCommerce releases every week. So the one use case that I use Business iQ is to compare before and after release performance using AppDynamics."
"This solution gives us quite good insights that we might otherwise overlook, or it might take a really long time to debug those issues."
"The auto-discovery of the logs is the most valuable feature. It requires minimal configuration, we just need to set up on once and it automatically detects through the code."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I don't see any problems in the solution...The solution's technical support was good."
"We can view the server activities, including issues in the process, with a single click."
"The event alerting feature or the trigger system is what I like most about AppDynamics Server Monitoring. Whenever an issue occurs, the tool automatically generates an even trigger that tells engineers in the company to take action, so it's an essential feature of AppDynamics Server Monitoring. Another valuable feature of the tool is end-to-end monitoring, which means if you need to debug, you can go transaction by transaction, where the issue lies, and how it's linked. For example, if it's a low-performance issue, you can look into it more through AppDynamics Server Monitoring in terms of which area takes too much time to execute. You can also see the SQL queries and the kind of query going on through the tool."
"The solution is quite efficient."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is it allows us to develop and add as many plugins as we want."
"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Provides timely notifications."
"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."
"The product’s dashboard could be more easy to implement."
"The configuration is tricky and requires a lot of tools."
"I could not find a user-friendly interface for querying, and analytics sometimes gives the wrong results...I feel that analytics could have been better in searching and running the analytical queries."
"AppDynamics Server Monitoring has room for improvement in terms of pricing. If the price could be cheaper, it would be great for both the customer and the integrator. What I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a better dashboard for the customer. The dashboard should be more interactive."
"I would like the ability to choose from some pre-defined dashboards and reports because as it is now, you have to define them separately for each implementation."
"Things are being done differently in the industry now, and many of these problems are being solved with cloud databases."
"In the next release, I would like to see the configuration of the data and more support for new applications. It should support new languages."
"The solution could be more mobile friendly."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"The user interface could be more interactive because it is pretty basic."
"It is a bit slow due to latency."
"The scalability needs improvement, it's not scalable at this time."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
