Overall Satisfaction with Nagios Core

Yes, our organization uses Nagios [Core] to monitor all infrastructure and it works finely in a diverse environment. It has very good documentation from implementation to monitoring and web interface, as well as a very good easy-to-navigate icon. The host and service can be organized to manage the host and client easily.
  • Network analysis
  • Effective data collection
  • Easy implementation
  • Web UI should be better while navigating
  • Improve security
  • Need to extend support and availability
  • Network analysis
  • Open source
  • Calculated data
  • Open source is helpful.
  • We have better managed downtime due to calculated data.
  • No negative impacts.
  • SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (npm)
Because we get all we required in Nagios [Core] and for npm, we have to do lots of configuration as it is not as easy as Comair to Nagios [Core]. On npm UI, there is lots of data, so we are not able to track exact data for analysis, which is why we use Nagios [Core].

So the Nagios [Core] gave us valuable features like report analysis and graphical structure, so it will easily evaluate and track the issue. Also, the email function is very useful, so we get informed at very crucial times with findings, and also generate templates for popular endpoints which make it very better.
