Nagios Core vs Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service comparison

"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."

"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."

"Nagios Core is stable."

"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."

"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."

"Nagios Core integrates with tools like Splunk, Datadog, or Dynatrace. It is usually used as a feed to provide more technical information about devices or hosts to another system."

"It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to."

"Real-time alerting is a very important feature. We need alerts for everything. We have alarms setup and get alerts through email or third-party integrations depending on what's happening – critical VMs, high CPU usage, security concerns."

"I would like to see more training videos."

"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."

"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."

"I believe Nagios Core will need to provide an option for big data platforms in the future."

"It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through."

"Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI."

"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."

"The scalability needs improvement, it's not scalable at this time."

"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."

"The Nagios Core (PNP4Nagios + Core) is free and can be setup by Netadmin within a few hours. The only additional cost is the cloud server."

"Nagios Core is an open source solution, and there are no licensing fees."

"The enterprise version has technical support. The version we are using is free."

"We are using the free version."

"Lessening the price point would be an improvement."

"Nagios Core is free to use."

"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."

"We have saved a lot of time, money, and effort in reducing disaster times, which is owed to Nagios quick alerting."

"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."
