Nagios Core vs Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service comparison

"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."

"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."

"It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to."

"Provides timely notifications."

"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."

"I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring."

"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."

"Real-time alerting is a very important feature. We need alerts for everything. We have alarms setup and get alerts through email or third-party integrations depending on what's happening – critical VMs, high CPU usage, security concerns."

"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."

"I believe Nagios Core will need to provide an option for big data platforms in the future."

"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."

"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."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."

"It would be nice if the company offered a sales or contract manager that was dedicated to our company so that we would have some sort of link to Nagios, and if we had issues or questions, we'd be able to contact them directly."

"The mapping is a little hard."

"t was a little hard to get our setup represented in the configuration."

"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."

"Nagios Core is an open source solution, and there are no licensing fees."

"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."

"The enterprise version has technical support. The version we are using is free."

"Most the plugin features are free."

"Nagios Core is free to use."

"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."

"It's free."

"Nagios Core is a cheap solution."

"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."
