Unified dashboards have streamlined device management and support has resolved issues faster
The best features HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) offers are probably the ease of usability, the observability, and the transparency. When I mention observability and transparency, those features help me in my work by keeping everything in my view; I don't need to juggle between different platforms, as everything serves as a one unified solution. About transparency, things are crystal clear and laid out openly, making it much easier for consumers like us who manage tons of devices all in one unified platform. HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has positively impacted my organization by making the whole problem-solving process easier, as if there are any ticket issues, things get resolved more easily compared to our previous services. Issues get resolved much more quickly now, with most of these solutions being almost readily available, and if escalated to a support team, we get a quicker response time, as opposed to the previous solution which involved a lot of back and forth and consumed a lot more time.

Monitoring has reduced outages and improves proactive issue resolution across our infrastructure
Regarding complexity, I think there is no feature like InfluxDB AI, so it may require more expertise to configure. There are also some migration challenges in adopting the new dashboards, so it takes some time to train the staff, but it is not a big concern. I think it is better to add some advanced features. I do not think there are so many things that need to be improved in Nagios Core on CentOS. If it is better to customize the dashboard or if we can get something like a modern view, it will be helpful for the dashboard. I felt very happy with Nagios Core on CentOS. Why I took off one point is that I think it is better suited for a small or medium setup. If large enterprises can use Nagios Core on CentOS, it will be helpful. It also requires manual editing of the config file, so it is a little bit time-consuming. The web interface is functional, but compared to some other latest AI monitoring platforms, it is a little bit lacking. I think the AI platform would score higher, but it is good. The reporting is just basic, so if we compare it with Grafana, it needs richer insights.

Cons

"I don't have enough experience with HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) yet to have any recommendations for improvement at this time, but I would suggest speeding up the process."
"If HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) could implement a way to configure the machines internally, and not only the cloud infrastructure provisioning and the boxes, and if they also added a way that we can easily configure the package or deploy applications inside the boxes, it would be fantastic."
"I have encountered a problem when updating modules required by policy changes, as the existing infrastructure sometimes gets deleted."
"I think HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) can be improved by creating a module for audit to make access to logs easier and to improve the auditability of who is accessing which vaults at which time and being able to generate that information in a report."
"You need knowledge and experience to use Terraform, Vault, and other HashiCorp tools."
"It would be good if college or university students could explore HashiCorp Cloud Platform to a certain extent as an open-source solution."

"Regarding features, I have tried the application monitoring feature, which is not that great but still useful; for open source, it is very helpful, though there are improvement areas in the application side."
"To improve Nagios Core on CentOS, I believe that many more plugins could be generated by the Nagios organization, such as those for monitoring services of an F5 load balancer or different other hardware devices such as Imperva WAF."
"Why I took off one point is that I think it is better suited for a small or medium setup."
"The main concern is that CentOS support has ended and its life cycle has reached its conclusion, which is why we moved over to other operating systems."
"Nagios Core on CentOS could be improved by adding more flexibility towards adding plugins."
"Nagios Core on CentOS is very stable and reliable, but it can be significantly improved in terms of automation, scalability, and usability."
