We performed a comparison between Nagios Core and Nutanix Prism based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."
"Key features include the GUI interface, its notification capabilities, and the real-time reporting."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is it allows us to develop and add as many plugins as we want."
"We use the product to monitor server applications."
"The notifications are definitely one of the most valuable features of Nagios Core. We know what to look for and what to expect when things are down."
"What I like about Nagios Core is that it helps me ensure everything is running smoothly by checking the status of hosts and services."
"Our customers like that Nagios Core is an open source solution. It can be customized to our customers' specific needs."
"For me, the speed of cloning virtual machines and the hyper-convergence feature are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The feature that stands out for me is the simplicity and ease of use. That is what comes to mind when I think about the Prism console. You don't need to be a core technical person to manage a cluster. Everything is available in the console itself."
"The most valuable features are Prism Central and the Disaster Recovery."
"It can combine computing, storage and networks in a single location."
"Nutanix Prism is popular in the Indian market, particularly in enterprises where they need a DR type of environment, and where they look for less than finite RPO and RTO. If you have this environment on-premises, and if you can just rent out some portion to any of the service providers, then you can easily set up a DR environment to give you a finite list versus RPO and RTO."
"The auto-update option is a valuable feature for us."
"The solution is a high-performance platform that effectively handles three-layered issues like SA and network fiber cables."
"Simplicity of use."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"The user interface could be more interactive because it is pretty basic."
"I would like to see more training videos."
"Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does."
"Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available."
"The scalability needs improvement, it's not scalable at this time."
"I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."
"The price could be improved."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"In the next release, I would like the ability to browse data stores."
"The process of converting and importing virtual machines to the Nutanix environment is quite complicated."
"The life cycle management or LCM feature is the most complicated. It takes really long and is unpredictable for our use cases. They should provide more detailed information about the kind of LCM to go for, various errors, and different kinds of tasks. For analytics for certain configurations, we require more details with the report. Sometimes, not all elements are present for support, management, and configuration. For troubleshooting, it would be very easy and useful if we can analyze log files directly from Prism, that is, not from the command line but directly from Prism."
"There are no firewall policies."
"Nutanix is a great product, but I won't say it is a data center product. If it could leverage or work with non-Nutanix infrastructure, it would be a total data center solution. Right now, with Prism Central, we can only manage Nutanix clusters."
"No integration of commands to manage AHV."
