"What I like about Nagios Core is that it helps me ensure everything is running smoothly by checking the status of hosts and services."
"Nagios Core is stable."
"I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them."
"I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring."
"It has made the life of the network operations staff more proactive in managing the resources of the infrastructure. It prevents disasters long before they can take place."
"It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to."
"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."
"Dashboard provides monitor of total assets."
"The most valuable feature is the Glass Tables. It gives you a nice, good overview of your KPIs. It's really slick and clean."
"We liked the built-in calculation of health scores."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"The modeling required to setup ITSI has been very helpful in providing us a better understanding and a logical view of our services. The modeling is flexible and can be as granular or high level as our needs dictate."
"ITSI's most valuable feature is that it's easy to integrate DLP."
"It's scalable and expands well."
"The glass tables are very helpful."
"The root cause analysis is very helpful for us."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"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."
"I believe Nagios Core will need to provide an option for big data platforms in the future."
"Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"It is pretty okay. I am not sure whether the current release has already moved to the new framework where instead of the glass tables, we can directly use the Dashboard Studio. It would be nice to have that integrated into the same framework."
"Quality-of-life features have room for improvement."
"Splunk ITSI generates numerous false positives and has the potential for enhancement."
"We also faced challenges relating to UI development."
"The data recovery has room for improvement."
"We're using predictive analytics, and there are three or four algorithms. It would be helpful if this process were more standardized and scalable."
"We'd like them to show more inputs on the dashboard."
"The dashboard queries should be improved. More queries should be suggested in order to produce better dashboards."
