We performed a comparison between Nagios XI and Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"Nagios XI helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability. We have multiple servers to monitor databases, availability of servers, and ping."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."
"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."
"The tool is efficient in collecting, monitoring and evaluating logs."
"The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable."
"The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex."
"The alerts are the most valuable feature."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment."
"It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
"A lot of customers had a hard time effectively searching within the data in Splunk. There is a learning curve from searches to indexes and using all the macros that we have created. It is a little difficult for somebody who has not used it quite a bit and does not have a lot of practice with it, but the AI features that we have been hearing about through Splunk will make it a lot easier for us to use human language to search this data. That is big. That is pretty powerful, and that will help a lot with our customers."
"The clustering part of indexes can be more refined."
"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."
"The implementation can be more user-friendly."
"In the next release, I would like to see more integration with other solutions."
"The cost needs to be re-examined. It's extremely expensive to run. It's also expensive to expand. That's the number one complaint all of my customers have when it comes to Splunk. It's way too expensive compared to other solutions."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring's data analytics can be improved by including suggestions for various types of continuous monitoring."
