We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability and Nagios Core 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 architecture and system's stability are simple."
"Elastic Observability significantly improves incident response time by providing quick access to logs and data across various sources. For instance, searching for specific keywords in logs spanning over a month from multiple data sources can be completed within seconds."
"It is a powerful tool that allows users to collect and transform logs as needed, enabling flexible visualization and analysis."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"Good design and easy to use once implemented."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"The Elastic User Interface framework lets us do custom development when needed. You need to have some Javascript knowledge. We need that knowledge to develop new custom tests."
"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."
"It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to."
"The most valuable feature depends on the project. It's great if you need to check to ensure a service is running 24/7. I can use the full solution for free, and it's flexible. If I need to add a dashboard, I can integrate it with Nagios. Cloud synchronization is wonderful."
"Other products are good but from the configuration point of view Nagios is really very lightweight. The price is really good in my opinion. Another important thing is that my Nagios engine still works with Dual core 8GB ram for the last 10 years."
"Provides timely notifications."
"Our customers like that Nagios Core is an open source solution. It can be customized to our customers' specific needs."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."
"Elastic Observability is difficult to use. There are only three options for customization but this can be difficult for our use case. We do not have other options to choose the metrics shown, such as CPU or memory usage."
"The tool's scalability involves a more complex implementation process. It requires careful calculations to determine the number of nodes needed, the specifications of each node, and the configuration of hot, warm, and cold zones for data storage. Additionally, managing log retention policies adds further complexity. The solution's pricing also needs to be cheaper."
"The solution needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages."
"Elastic Observability is an excellent product for monitoring and visibility, but it lacks predictive analytics. Most solutions are aligned with the AIOps requirements, but this piece is missing in Elastic and should be included."
"There could be more low-code features included in the product."
"The auto-discovery isn't nearly as good. That's a big portion of it. When you drop the agent onto the JVM and you're trying to figure things out, having to go through and manually do all that is cumbersome."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"The user interface could be more interactive because it is pretty basic."
"The tool needs to improve the integrations."
"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."
"Nagios Core can improve the graphical interface, it would make things a little easier."
"The core version is no match for the XI version."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI."
