We performed a comparison between BMC TrueSight Operations Management and Nagios Core 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."The most valuable features are the rich reports, high performance, and the look and feel of the WebEx webpage are very good."
"The noise reduction for ticketing works much better than we have seen in a lot of other companies."
"It is a stable solution."
"Using the TrueSight platform we can monitor server performance and notify the customers using the integrated ticketing for events. We can let them know if there are any issues with a server, or application, or database."
"The most beneficial part of the product in terms of IT monitoring revolves around the areas involving automation, and it also serves as an end-to-end event management and incident management tool."
"We're using native monitoring capabilities for all our server hardware, for visibility for applications, for URLs, for webpage response and accuracy, and for monitoring network throughput in a lot of particular instances. We're using lightweight protocols for pinging, for DNS, for LDAP."
"The event management tool builds correlation logic and protection algorithms into a field of events that is valuable when a data center goes down."
"We can verify uptimes as another source of keeping devices in compliance."
"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to."
"Provides timely notifications."
"The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner."
"I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring."
"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."
"What I like about Nagios Core is that it helps me ensure everything is running smoothly by checking the status of hosts and services."
"Specifically around application performance monitoring, BMC is definitely not the market leader. The Dynatraces, the New Relics and the like are more of the market leaders in that space. I would like to see them grow that space a little bit more aggressively. It has not really been their bread and butter."
"The solution is a little obsolete."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"The pricing could be better."
"This solution is lacking in application monitoring features. Technical support for this solution also needs improvement, particularly in product knowledge and response time."
"We have a unique use case because BMC typically sells this solution into enterprises that are deploying it within their IT, versus to a managed services provider like us where we're supporting thousands of customers. Multi-tenancy and the scalability have been challenges along the way, as we've grown... If anything could have gone better as we were ramping this up and adding a lot of volume to it, I would say it's the scalability. That would be one thing that could be improved."
"Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available."
"It is a bit slow due to latency."
"Nagios Core does not have a graphic display."
"Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."
"I would like to see more training videos."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
