"Intersight can validate our environment."
"Cisco Intersight has valuable features for workflow automation and inventory administration."
"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."

"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."

"Nagios Core does not have a graphic display."
"The core version is no match for the XI version."
