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 has provided us with a single location to host all events to be viewed/monitored by our NOC. This has greatly helped them to streamline their processes."

"The tool is flexible enough to be customized based on customer requirements."
"The ability of this platform to monitor the very diverse assets that we maintain around the world is its most valuable feature... We support a vast array of manufacturers' equipment, like HP, IBM, Cisco, Dell, EMC, Hitachi... We can do it all with [this] one [solution]."
"The most valuable features of BMC TrueSight Operations Management are the blackouts and event management."
"TSOM's ability to consolidate alerts into a single location and provide filtering of alerts is great."
"I use the solution to monitor servers, databases, Windows, Linux, and web services."
"I like everything about this tool. I recommend this solution to anyone looking for a standalone solution with high availability meaning that can be used depending on the customers requirements."
"Our customers like that Nagios Core is an open source solution. It can be customized to our customers' specific needs."
"I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them."

"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 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."

"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"BMC TrueSight Operations Management could improve the reporting."

"The product must provide application or service monitoring features."
"The stability of BMC TrueSight Operations Management needs improvement. My organization's infrastructure is vast and implemented based on BMC recommendations, but the solution needs to be optimized for large-capacity infrastructure."
"We have a unique use case because BMC typically sells this solution into enterprises that are deploying it within their IT, versus to a managed services provider like us where we're supporting thousands of customers. Multi-tenancy and the scalability have been challenges along the way, as we've grown... If anything could have gone better as we were ramping this up and adding a lot of volume to it, I would say it's the scalability. That would be one thing that could be improved."
"I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier."
"The solution is a little obsolete."
"The core version is no match for the XI version."
"Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available."
"It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through."
"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."
"The user interface could be more interactive because it is pretty basic."
"I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."
"I would like to see more training videos."
"The scalability needs improvement, it's not scalable at this time."
