Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Zabbix, New Relic and others in Cloud Monitoring Software."The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"The ability to stop/pause and capture logs when something happens is the most valuable feature."
"Docker containers are completely supported, kind of like "first class citizens"."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"We often need to develop custom plugins to get Nagios to work the way we want it to work because the features we need are not always available in Nagios."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
"The way Nagios displays information isn't easy for a new user to understand. It's not intuitive enough. You need to read some tutorials or be trained to understand what it's displaying. Also, I think it needs more features to improve network visibility because there are some things you can't detect."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
""Events" reporting (errors, crashes, etc.) is not clear at all in a Mesos environment (i.e., it's not clear what specific container is the one that went down). In a Docker Compose environment, it may be way better."
"It is needs to automate the actions to take when an alert is triggered."
