We performed a comparison between Nagios XI and Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring 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 Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"Nagios XI helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability. We have multiple servers to monitor databases, availability of servers, and ping."
"It is very easy to monitor multiple cloud environments. It's like a single pane of glass for us. We can use it to monitor our on-prem and both of our cloud environments as opposed to having different tools for each environment. It makes it all come together in one tool."
"The alerts are the most valuable feature."
"The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it."
"The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything."
"Splunk has drawn our attention to how the network is running. If there are alarms on things that are not functioning, it gives us early warning on problems that could arise."
"The most valuable thing that we have seen within our group is the ability to ingest all this raw data and have it organized in a certain way so that different groups can get effective alerting from this massive amount of raw data that is out there."
"We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs."
"Great monitoring of network devices."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."
"It's a bit difficult to use. It takes some time to get into it and to get it to do what you would like it to do. It is not straightforward to use it."
"The product collects a lot of data but it does not assure that it collects all of it."
"It would be useful if they provided some help pages. If you don't know too much about the tool, there should be more documentation readily available. It would be useful if they had a help button embedded in the solution so you could ask questions and get answers."
"The solution should have more sensors regarding fiber intelligence for security measures."
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
"The deployment can be quite complex."
"Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference."
