We performed a comparison between Nagios XI and Tanium based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is pretty stable."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
"Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"The security features are very valuable."
"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"Nagios XI can improve network and hardware monitoring, these parameters should be simplified to allow usage for monitoring. Additionally, if there was automatic reporting it would be helpful."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."
"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."
"They could improve the UI."
"The solution lacks mobility."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
