We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability and Nagios XI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"We use AppDynamics and Elastic. The reason why we're using Elastic APM is because of the license count. It's very favorable compared to AppDynamics. It's inexpensive; it's economical."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"The product has connectors to many services."
"The architecture and system's stability are simple."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios XI is customization. We can customize based on our requirements. We can do modifications and implement a lot of scripts. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."
"The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities."
"More web features could be added to the product."
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"Elastic Observability’s price could be improved."
"The tool's scalability involves a more complex implementation process. It requires careful calculations to determine the number of nodes needed, the specifications of each node, and the configuration of hot, warm, and cold zones for data storage. Additionally, managing log retention policies adds further complexity. The solution's pricing also needs to be cheaper."
"Elastic Observability is an excellent product for monitoring and visibility, but it lacks predictive analytics. Most solutions are aligned with the AIOps requirements, but this piece is missing in Elastic and should be included."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"Nagios XI can improve network and hardware monitoring, these parameters should be simplified to allow usage for monitoring. Additionally, if there was automatic reporting it would be helpful."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"The way Nagios displays information isn't easy for a new user to understand. It's not intuitive enough. You need to read some tutorials or be trained to understand what it's displaying. Also, I think it needs more features to improve network visibility because there are some things you can't detect."
