Avis clients sur Nagios XI

Nagios provide a centralized view of system status and provide alerts when issue arise over mail and sms.It supports multiple plugins and extensions with the help of plugins we can monitor server, application, databases, network devices and store their trends. It can also escalate alerts to multiple users or groups based on specific criteria.

Not facing any issue yet,easy to use and maintain.

Value for money, easily availablity of pluggins and more stable product

Improved UI and more user friendly console

The ability to extend monitoring to custom monitors

A steep learning curve to use portions of the product

Unbosrding is fast and easy. Out of the box default monitoring metrics are really what you need to get started, they have a handful of ready to use plugins and in any other case you could build your own custom plugin real easy.

The GUI doesn't seem to be most updated and some of the features are hard to find (UX issue)

I implemented a free version of the application to monitor my complex network, spreadout across multiple locations. While it took me several attempts to get it right, once installed, I was pleasanty surprised with what I saw. Having my network distributed across multiple locations, it was hard to monitor the upstate / resources of my servers and other network devices. Once I configure Nagious to my liking, I had every network device that I wanted to monitor on the consolidated map. Very simple configuration of the config files, once you get an idea of how to work them. Really great result for a free product

Being a Linux newbie, it did take me some poking around, before I got it right. You really have to understand the structure of the product and Linux OS itself to get it right. Config files were confusing at first, but once I figured them out, it was a breeze to add / remove hosts.

It allows you to monitor many network devices, such as switches, routers, servers, helping to monitor network performance and track traffic on the network interface. very easy to install on a server, the interface is very intuitive, and has a variety of customization options since Nagios is an open source software which makes it easy to add custom scripts to extend the available services.

It is a bit difficult to configure, but once configured works very well, it continues to use add-ons that in some cases work perfectly but others are painful to work, the interface is a bit slow when you have many clients on the network, and the Search is very precise and does not look for possible matches.

Nagios XI is the only NMS being used in our infrastructure for monitoring LAN, WLAN, WAN, Virtual infrastructure and physical servers.
it supports almost all endpoint types and monitoring protocols.
it has built in templates for popular endpoints which makes it very easy to add them.

the reporting feature has limited templates and they cannot be edited.
you can create new templates but they also have limitations.
some reports cannot be run on groups of devices while others show very little information.

I really like the graphical user interface overlay on top of Nagios Core, it makes it so much easier to create monitors.

The only complaint I have with Nagios XI is not with the software but instead with the way that people do not take ownership for the monitors that they create. The software works great when done right.

The tool is simple to use and easy to deploy. Does it's job of performing good monitoring for network devices specially. Helpful in quick identification of issues and bottlenecks and help reduce MTTR

Certain features doesn't help you get down to the root-cause of the issues and investigation has to be done outside the tool.

The web inteface that includes and well designed dashboard, shows all events that happen on the network and loggs them at the same time. Capable of reading advanced information from many devices.

The intial configuration is time consuming, together with a need of many interventions.

We purchased this many years ago to monitor our infrastructure and it started off well

We found this solution very difficult to set up​ and their support was not much help.

we used nagios in some analysis tests of monitoring managers, we really liked its adaptability to monitoring of various cellular telecommunications networks. The management of statistics was very simple.

The only problem we encountered was licensing costs and support within Venezuela, specifically placing it below its competitors, but I believe that in a country without restrictions it can be an option.

Have multiple configuration options. Nice graphs and reports. Dashboard help to keep an eye on important thing that require attention.

Plugins. After version and version Nagios is still using plugins that in some case works perfectly but other is painful get they working. May a change of way to setup them would be interesting.

Easy to setup, secure, solid functionally and notification options.

Portions of the UI are somewhat dated by current standards.

- Ease to see the incidents in the network and solve them before they become big problems.
- Provides users with effective and scalable monitoring, which makes a big difference compared to other tools.
- In our Lab practices the configuration of remote access of users to any device through RDP, VNC, Telnet or SSH has been done very easily.
- Multi-user access to the web interface ensures that the components of the infrastructure for which they are authorized can be viewed.

- Although it belongs to a large community, sometimes it is not easy to understand the support of some scripts.
- Regarding the issue of vulnerabilities are always present in the different updates.

We introduced Nagios XI into our network a few years ago to help monitor network performance as well as for usage alerts. It has been a great tool to keep track of just about everything such as network interface traffic, volume sizes and service and process alerts. The web interface is pretty snappy and easy to get around in. The product just does it's job. We were considering Solarwinds NPM at the same time but glad we choose Nagios instead.

You need to a know a little Linux and it's a little complicated at first to set up more advanced alerting. However, with a little time, you can become a pro.
