We performed a comparison between Nagios Core and Nutanix Prism based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Provides timely notifications."
"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."
"I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring."
"What I like about Nagios Core is that it helps me ensure everything is running smoothly by checking the status of hosts and services."
"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."
"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."
"Because in my role I create a lot of reports, it is very handy to be able to show the customer, "This is your cluster. At the moment, you are using this much CPU, this much RAM, and this much storage." I can give them information on what they're using, how many VMs, and the amount of data they're using."
"Nutanix is a HCA product and includes VMware called Nutanix Express that has been fantastic for us. We have about 100 plus VMs without any trouble and we have VCDR."
"The pricing is very good if you compare it to other competitors."
"The ability to do snapshots is fantastic. It does a great job. Not only do snapshots work great, but you can take a snapshot on the fly. The snapshot takes a second to complete. You can then make a change and test it out to see if it works. If you have any problem, just roll it right back."
"Simplicity of use."
"Prism provides us with insights and the ability to access all the sub-components of Nutanix's hyperconverged platform."
"I like the general usability for general configuration. It is sufficient for everyday operations."
"Prism is easy to scale."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available."
"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."
"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."
"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."
"Nagios Core can improve the graphical interface, it would make things a little easier."
"The tool needs to improve the integrations."
"I would like to see more training videos."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"Perhaps the interface can be more intuitive."
"The simplicity that Prism provides is something of a dual-edged sword. It can be almost too simple at times. When there is an issue and something is really wrong, it can make it a little more difficult to track it down because the Prism interface is very limited for drilling down into those highly technical or highly complicated errors."
"There are some things that you can only do via the command line. Over the years that I've been using Nutanix, they've slowly integrated those into Prism, but they're still trying to catch up with a solution that has been around longer, like VMware."
"The solution could be a bit more user-friendly. The dashboard and configuration should be much easier to use."
"The automation needs to be improved, as there are several challenges."
"Nutanix Prism could improve by having more features or configurations in the web interface. We should not have to use the command-line interface(CLI). For some clients using the CLI can be difficult."
"The licensing cost has room for improvement."
"The stability has room for improvement."
