I would rate their technical support a nine out of ten.
It's difficult to find necessary documentation, open tickets, and get support.
We are paying too much for technical support from VMware.
If the user interface isn’t presenting data well, it becomes difficult to manage when scaling.
It is very stable.
We are managing that one but usually we have an API connector between our firewall vendor and our VMware NSX.
There are some complexities with deployment that could be improved in BMC TrueSight.
Many tools have poor user interfaces, making them hard to manage and navigate.
The GUI could be improved. It's a bit too basic.
Broadcom should improve by going back to what was working before, offering the suite of tools that clients actually use, and allowing clients to decide the best options for them.
BMC TrueSight licensing costs are on the more expensive side.
We are using the free, open-source version.
The pricing for the Nagios XI product is good and better than other solutions.
Broadcom is known for increasing product prices, making them expensive compared to what people used to pay.
Automated root cause analysis and predictive capabilities are powerful features that assist in resource utilization and capacity planning.
Nagios XI simplifies our setup and reduces the time spent configuring monitoring tools.
The alerting system is very effective.
One of the biggest problems with VMware NSX is logging, and vRealize Network Insight helps by providing comprehensive logs.

Reviews from Real Users
Nagios XI stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Several major ones are its integration options and monitoring abilities, as well as its alerting features.
David P., a senior DevOps engineer at EML Payments Ltd, writes, “We use Nagios as a network discovery tool. We use Nagios to maintain our uptime statistics and to monitor our services. It has allowed us to be much more sophisticated in our monitoring and alerting.”
An IT-OSS manager at a comms service provider notes, “Nagios XI has a custom API feature, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature.”
VMware vRealize Network Insight delivers intelligent operations for software-defined networking and security. It helps customers build an optimized, highly-available and secure network infrastructure across multi-cloud environments.
