Nagios Core vs SolarWinds ipMonitor comparison

"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."

"The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner."

"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."

"Provides timely notifications."

"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."

"The solution is quite efficient."

"Key features include the GUI interface, its notification capabilities, and the real-time reporting."

"I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring."

"IPAM is used for IP address reservation and tracking, helping us easily identify live IP addresses."

"The most valuable feature is the availability of end devices."

"IPAM is used for IP address reservation and tracking, helping us easily identify live IP addresses."

"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."

"It is a bit slow due to latency."

"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."

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

"I would like to see more training videos."

"It would be nice if the company offered a sales or contract manager that was dedicated to our company so that we would have some sort of link to Nagios, and if we had issues or questions, we'd be able to contact them directly."

"The core version is no match for the XI version."

"I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."

"The licensing cost is high compared to open source tools."

"The licensing cost is high compared to open source tools."

"The solution does not include enough features and has some performance issues."

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

"Lessening the price point would be an improvement."

"We are using the free version of Nagios Core."

"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."

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

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

"It's free."

"Nagios Core is free to use."
