Pros
"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is it allows us to develop and add as many plugins as we want.""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.""Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it.""The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner.""The solution is quite efficient.""I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring.""Nagios Core is stable.""What I like about Nagios Core is that it helps me ensure everything is running smoothly by checking the status of hosts and services."

"Real-time alerting is a very important feature. We need alerts for everything. We have alarms setup and get alerts through email or third-party integrations depending on what's happening – critical VMs, high CPU usage, security concerns."

Cons
"The tool needs to improve the integrations.""The user interface could be more interactive because it is pretty basic.""Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI.""The core version is no match for the XI version.""The scalability needs improvement, it's not scalable at this time.""Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available.""The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved.""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."
