ThousandEyes and Nagios Core are prominent players in network and application monitoring. ThousandEyes appears to have an upper hand due to its commercial edge in customer support and cloud versatility.
Features: ThousandEyes provides deep network visibility and application monitoring, comprehensive monitoring of cloud providers and ISPs, and effective scalability integrated with Cisco. Nagios Core offers open-source flexibility, customization for varied endpoints, and cost-effectiveness with custom plugins.
Room for Improvement: ThousandEyes requires better integration, advanced application monitoring, and improved dashboards. Nagios Core struggles with user-friendliness, modern aesthetics, and ease-of-use, suggesting more intuitive interfaces.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: ThousandEyes supports on-premises, hybrid, and cloud deployments with responsive technical support. Nagios Core focuses on on-premises deployments and lacks dedicated support due to its open-source nature.
Pricing and ROI: ThousandEyes positions itself in the mid-to-high price range, promising ROI with network performance enhancements. Nagios Core offers cost-effectiveness through zero licensing fees and emphasizes savings in monitoring costs.
This is IT infrastructure monitoring's industry-standard, open-source core. Free without professional support services.
ThousandEyes is a Network Intelligence platform that delivers visibility into every network an organization relies on, whether public or private. ThousandEyes enables users to optimize application delivery, end-user experience and ongoing infrastructure investments.
With cloud, enterprises can innovate much faster, but the growing number of cloud and SaaS applications means that more apps are being delivered over the Internet. This increases dependence on the Internet, a public “best effort” network, and other third-party infrastructures, substantially reducing the ability of IT teams to predict, visualize and control operational behavior. This results in a chaotic and unmanageable IT environment, making issue resolution a time-consuming ordeal, potentially impacting reputation and revenue. ThousandEyes has innovated an approach based on an unmatched distribution of smart agents across the Internet and enterprise, providing visibility all the way to the end user. ThousandEyes gathers and analyzes massive volumes of Network Intelligence data from all of these vantage points, enabling organizations to solve even their most obscure performance problems in minutes. By using ThousandEyes in the planning and testing phases of cloud adoption, customers can also strategically identify and fix underlying problems before production deployment of business-critical applications.
The ThousandEyes solution is ubiquitous across industry sectors, and since launching in mid-2013, customers have come from a diverse set of industry sectors, which include Silicon Valley technology companies, financial services, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, retail, manufacturing and education.
