We performed a comparison between ControlUp 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 most valuable feature is the granularity of visibility into the resources that are in use by our applications."
"Security, uptime, and reduced capital expenditures are the main reasons we use ControlUp. So basically, the money that we consume is based on the amount of time we are using a service."
"The script-based actions have allowed us to extend the core reporting capabilities."
"It has a great career time monitoring tool."
"When using ControlUp, the core feature that we have found valuable is its UI. It is a valuable tool to view the analysis reactions of a base core Level 2 or Level 1 team so that they can complete the necessary troubleshooting."
"ControlUp has an easy installation process."
"The most valuable features in ControlUp are endpoint monitoring and the many features that are available."
"Integration with Netscaler and Scoutbees can provide a proper end-to-end analysis of the user's experience and give us a real ROI."
"Key features include the GUI interface, its notification capabilities, and the real-time reporting."
"The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
"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."
"The solution is quite efficient."
"We'd like to see the mobile app working again so that we can get alerts 24/7. This is especially useful for the person on call."
"It can be improved by including script-based scheduling."
"ControlUp could improve the integration. Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop monitoring has better integration."
"The graphical user interface needs to be improved from version to version."
"This solution be improved by including load throttling tools. For example, I can identify a service where we spend a lot of CPU but I cannot restrict the service from ControlUp. I have to use another tool like AppSense."
"Integration is always a problem, and we feel that we are doing our best and the service provider thinks they are doing their best. I guess if ControlUp's system could be more capable or if people could understand the integration part, that would be better."
"Something I would love to see from a partner perspective would be maybe a way to do this in a surface hosting provider."
"The most common complaint that I have heard, at least within our organization, is about reporting. They have their own reporting. It's just that it doesn't yet include everything that you can look at within the application. You can only report on specific metrics or collections."
"The mapping is a little hard."
"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."
"The tool needs to improve the integrations."
"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."
"The core version is no match for the XI version."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
