Has a single dashboard, but is expensive
We use this solution to manage our mission environment The single dashboard is a valuable feature.  The technical support needs improvement. The initial setup is straightforward. The solution is expensive. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten.  Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of…

Valuable reporting and alert system with room for PDF export improvements
I use Nagios Core for monitoring purposes only. I have added enough extensions to the Nagios Core, and the company does not want to add any new features because whatever I have added is completely worth it. I have created Nagios Core projects to improve its functionality, and we use it to monitor…

Has a simple user interface and end-to-end monitoring and self-healing features
My organization uses many application performance management solutions, such as AppDynamics, New Relic APM, Splunk, and Datadog. I'm the CTO for the state of Hawaii, and across the board, different departments use different APM tools. I'm using the latest version of New Relic APM, but I cannot recall the exact version. My company has a dozen engineers using and monitoring New Relic APM. I'd tell anyone planning to use New Relic APM that it has to fit what you have. For example, most of my company's payload is in AWS, and the tool has adopters and features that CloudWatch cannot provide. Still, New Relic APM can, so you should do a demo or trial run first and see if it's a tool that'll help you with end-to-end monitoring. New Relic APM is working well for my company, so an excellent way to start is to do a trial run to see how the tool works out for your current applications. My rating for the tool is nine out of ten because my experience with it has been great. New Relic also worked closely with my company and has always been upfront on what's available and what's not. My company is a New Relic APM customer.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"It has made the life of the network operations staff more proactive in managing the resources of the infrastructure. It prevents disasters long before they can take place."
"The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner."
"Nagios Core is stable."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."
"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."
"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."
"Monitoring with Nagios Core is helpful because it provides immediate alerts if something goes down, such as a server, or wireless router, or if there's a cable break. This allows us to respond promptly to any issues."
"What I like best about New Relic APM is its user interface because it's simple. The most valuable feature of New Relic APM is end-to-end monitoring."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to manage the application flow."
"It does everything we wanted it to do."
"The solution is good for sending alerts, drawing graphs about system usage, and creating plug-ins."
"The versatility of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"You don't have to go through a list of 500 servers."
"Sometimes, I monitor the user's time of response and use this information to improve the number of servers on the back-end. Or, I can use it to change my back log for front-end developers and improve their response times. It's very important in this case because I can improve the experience of the final user."
 

Cons

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."
"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."
"The alerting mechanism in Nagios Core could be improved."
"I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."
"It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"The user interface could be more interactive because it is pretty basic."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"The APIs could be better. I would also like more APIs and features to integrate with streaming solutions, like Kinesis or Kafka."
"New Relic is very slow, and the app is a bit frustrating to use, which is something that has been happening a lot in the past year. During the last six months, I have noticed that it has become extremely laggy."
"I think that there have been some questionable product enhancements. Over a year ago, New Relic rolled out a new navigation that really disrupted our workflow."
"The solution does not provide input on how the page performs in a big group. It just says that the page performance is bad, but it does not say what can be done to improve it. If they could provide some insight or guidance on how to make improvements, that would be a big help."
"The monitoring is only as good as the alerts that it produces. By having it set up fine grain alerting, it is a bit of a pain."
"The older view is much better than the new view that they have. We'd like to go back to that previous version. The user interface just isn't as nice as it used to be."
"There are certain features that are not supported in New Relic, such as CATSEARCH, which allows you to do a full-text search."
"Some AIOps are missing in New Relic APS, and I would like to see more features in this area."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"We are using the open-source, unpaid version."
"The Nagios Core (PNP4Nagios + Core) is free and can be setup by Netadmin within a few hours. The only additional cost is the cloud server."
"Nagios Core is a cheap solution."
"It's free."
"The product is cheaply priced."
"We are using the free version of Nagios Core."
"The solution is expensive."
"Nagios Core is an open source solution, and there are no licensing fees."
"I think it's overpriced for the technical support that we get. We spent over 1,00,000 USD a year."
"I loved this product, but we can no longer afford it, so we dropped it."
"The monthly cost os $1000 per server per month, but it could be even more. We pay about $250 for the server, and then New Relic wants over $1000 to give us statistics on those servers."
"The pricing is fine."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive, and I believe that it is a competitively-priced tool."
"The pricing and licensing are too high."
"The detection piece of it brings us a big return on investment."
"New Relic is either free with low retention and minimal functionalities, or expensive with full options and retention."
