We performed a comparison between Dell CloudIQ 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 tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner."
"Key features include the GUI interface, its notification capabilities, and the real-time reporting."
"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."
"It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"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."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"We're using the free version, which limits us in terms of the things that we can do. If we had the paid version, a lot of our issues would probably go away. For example, we can't isolate instances that are being built or updated with the production ones. When they're being built, on Nagios, they're showing in red. It'd be nice to be able to partition those off until they're all green, and then we can bring them into the environment. This is probably because we've got the free version and not the paid version. If we went for the paid version, it would probably allow us to do exactly what we want to or remove the restrictions that we have, but if we are able to isolate instances in the free version, it would make life much easier."
"Making it a little easier to configure and set up from the start would help. There are multiple layers that you have to wade through to be able to set it up, to do it the right way, and to get it to do what you want it to do."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does."
"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."
"I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."
"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."
"I believe Nagios Core will need to provide an option for big data platforms in the future."
