We performed a comparison between Avantra 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 most valuable feature of Avantra is automation. The reduction of manual work and having them automated is one of the top reasons why I would use it."
"It's very easy to manage and use."
"You can customize alerts based on need."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring."
"It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is it allows us to develop and add as many plugins as we want."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"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."
"Our customers like that Nagios Core is an open source solution. It can be customized to our customers' specific needs."
"The solution is quite efficient."
"We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities."
"The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through."
"I believe Nagios Core will need to provide an option for big data platforms in the future."
"I would like to see more training videos."
"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."
"It is a bit slow due to latency."
"We're using the free version, which limits us in terms of the things that we can do. If we had the paid version, a lot of our issues would probably go away. For example, we can't isolate instances that are being built or updated with the production ones. When they're being built, on Nagios, they're showing in red. It'd be nice to be able to partition those off until they're all green, and then we can bring them into the environment. This is probably because we've got the free version and not the paid version. If we went for the paid version, it would probably allow us to do exactly what we want to or remove the restrictions that we have, but if we are able to isolate instances in the free version, it would make life much easier."
