Nagios XI vs. UltraWPM

If anyone looking for the monitoring system for the infrastructure this is the go-to tool which monitors all infrastructure related components from server health to Networking and update us with mails and can be easily integrated with multiple other tools as needed for example PagerDuty , Also this suits good both on premises and cloud environments as well. If we are managing complex environment this tool for monitoring is best one.

If you need to gauge whether your site is up or down, then Neustar will give you exactly what you are looking for. However, if you need more granularity for specific application or sub-systems and their functionality, this product will need to be subsidized with other applications that provide more data or information on how individual components or systems are working.

• It allows access to a history of checks, how much time they took, and if any errors were detected.
• It can alert several people, or many in a group, for information related to the application availability.
• When drilling down into the check, the logs can pinpoint the exact time and code events and how long each step took to respond.

• Robust, but visually old interface. Requires a lot of work to become presentable.
• Small selection of dashlets to construct new views.
• No MS Azure monitoring ability, nothing for “as service,” very limited Amazon cloud monitoring abilities.
• Questionable price politics (could make it a lot less for developing markets to actually increase use of the product and R&D budgets).
• No report designers nor the ability to create new reports. No changes in this area for years.
• Overall lack of new developments, making this product more and more outdated.

• The interface can be buggy.
• We have experienced false positives of a system outage that was not accurate.
• It's not a true measure of system performance or uptime, but simply judges up or down from a holistic view.

Cost efficiency is the main reason which we opted [for] Nagios as we were previously using IDERA tool with comprehensive database monitoring solutions, but the slow performance we are getting while monitoring the instance of the database.

To be honest, I am not certain why this product was initially chosen over other products. It was being used when I started working at a new job. I was trained on its use and focused on tracking issues when an alert was given. There are many products that can be used for monitoring site uptime. Neustar definitely has its uses for monitoring if a site is up or down, but its lack of granularity can turn some away.

We have installed Nagios XI for our monitoring system and with this we are managing around 600 servers in total and not seen any major issues with its scalability we can scale it as much as we require and also installed on various applications servers and working as expected

• Our company at one time gauged overall system uptime using Neustar WebMetrics to provide this data
• Due to the limitations with the applications ability to show system functionality and uptime we have begun using other methods for determining system uptime for our customers.
• The interface can be a bit tricky to understand during first use. There is somewhat of a learning curve.
