User Testimonials
	Centreon	Observium
Likelihood to Recommend	Centreon It is a good product that is robust. They have a free version that makes the value good. If it cost money then the install and plugins would need polishing. But overall it is a good product that does what it says it does. But definitely not for beginners you do need some knowledge to set it up and get it running Incentivized TS Terry Schultz IT Consultant Read full review	Observium If you are on a budget, this is one heck of a tool for the price (including the ~$200/year for the Pro subscription). If you are OK with maintaining and updating open source tools, this is a great tool. If you are afraid of the Linux command line or live in a Windows-centric world, this might not be the tool for you. If you can't stand things occasionally not working, this is probably not a good fit. Incentivized Derek Dolan Senior System Administrator Read full review

Alternatives Considered	Centreon Centreon does a good job against these products. Of courseCentreon can be free and that is what we used. So it is not quite the same the other products are more polished and support is readily available. But Centreon is still good and if you have some knowledge can work just as well Incentivized TS Terry Schultz IT Consultant Read full review	Observium I haven't used other products that are similar to Observium. Observium is an open tool, with a robust feature set. There are elements of comparable monitoring across other tools, but nothing I've seen that is a complete parallel in terms of feature set and visualizations. If I were asked, I wouldn't have another tool to recommend over Observium. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
