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 drafts are easy but what I like about Icinga is that there are many add-ons that you can download."
"There's a module called Icinga Director, which helps us configure the product using an intuitive interface through clicks instead of creating a text configuration. It's very helpful for us."
"The value of Icinga is that it has hundreds of plugins, so it's really easy to monitor pretty much anything."
"An affordable solution for small organizations to do basic network monitoring."
"I like the ability to amend and adjust things really easily, which is useful in a case where you could make it auto-discover and then set a template to say all of these applications or servers under this template have an automatic threshold set that you’d set up manually."
"The best thing about the solution is how it highlights errors, the issues, and what needs my attention. The solution directs me to areas that I should look for first."
"Icinga does the job and is fairly stable."
"Icinga has multiple automation and integration features. There is an API for everything and a web UI for configurations. The APIs enable you to automate tasks in Icinga. We can also use plugins to talk to the API. The Icinga Director talks to a database in the background, and you can import settings from the CMDB to all systems in Icinga."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment."
"I find the monitoring console very helpful. With one click, I can see how we are performing, and at the same time, I can see what data is flowing."
"The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."
"The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the data integration."
"Great monitoring of network devices."
"It can monitor, get the data, and then report on the data."
"The tool is efficient in collecting, monitoring and evaluating logs."
"The tool currently fails to provide notifications to users."
"The solution lacks many features important to higher-level IT management and network support."
"We have found some problems with Nagios, and support isn't very responsive."
"The installation and configuration are very complex."
"At this time, the layout of the website is a bit difficult. It should be more user-friendly for changing the background and logos."
"In general, the product does not look good. However, it does what it is supposed to do. So, the improvements should focus on usability and UI."
"Icinga’s automation could be improved."
"The user interface should be improved."
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
"The solution should have more sensors regarding fiber intelligence for security measures."
"Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference."
"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."
"The product collects a lot of data but it does not assure that it collects all of it."
"We have both on-prem and cloud, and the challenge is getting all our log data aggregated or streams aggregated so that it is real-time. We do a pretty good job of that, but our organization is not using it as a security platform when it can do a great job of that."
"The implementation can be more user-friendly."
"They need more EDR functionalities."
