We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability 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 solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"The product has connectors to many services."
"The Elastic User Interface framework lets us do custom development when needed. You need to have some Javascript knowledge. We need that knowledge to develop new custom tests."
"Good design and easy to use once implemented."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"The price is very less expensive compared to the other solutions."
"Elastic Observability significantly improves incident response time by providing quick access to logs and data across various sources. For instance, searching for specific keywords in logs spanning over a month from multiple data sources can be completed within seconds."
"We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it."
"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."
"Dashboard provides monitor of total assets."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is it allows us to develop and add as many plugins as we want."
"I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them."
"The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner."
"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."
"Key features include the GUI interface, its notification capabilities, and the real-time reporting."
"I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring."
"The auto-discovery isn't nearly as good. That's a big portion of it. When you drop the agent onto the JVM and you're trying to figure things out, having to go through and manually do all that is cumbersome."
"They need more skills in the market. There are not enough skills in the market. It is not pervasive enough on the market, in my opinion. In other words, there isn't a big enough user base."
"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."
"Elastic Observability is an excellent product for monitoring and visibility, but it lacks predictive analytics. Most solutions are aligned with the AIOps requirements, but this piece is missing in Elastic and should be included."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"More web features could be added to the product."
"Elastic Observability is reactive rather than proactive. It should act as an ITSM tool and be able to create tickets and alerts on Jira."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"The user interface could be more interactive because it is pretty basic."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"The core version is no match for the XI version."
"The mapping is a little hard."
"I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."
"Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does."
"It is a bit slow due to latency."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
