    Chose Icinga
    There are two main competitors of Icinga in my opinion, Nagios, and NetFlow based monitoring solutions. Both are good, Icinga, is a more refined version of Nagios with a much better API and backwards compatibility to the platform. If you are running Nagios, you can transfer …

    Icinga GmbH
    Icinga is a world-class monitoring system. It can be used for most general monitoring situations. It is not a silver bullet, however, and there are instances where domain-specific monitoring systems are necessary. However, the output from those monitoring systems can be funneled into Icinga as a central monitoring and alerting system.

    Icinga GmbH
    • High learning curve, setting up Icinga from scratch can be a bit of a challenge starting out.
    • If the io2db process fails you UI stops updating, which can be very frustrating.
    • There is no simple mechanism for adding new hosts and services through the web UI, it's all very config-file based.

    Icinga is a solid solution which does everything it promises. It is backwards compatible with most Nagios instances, making the transition very easy. Once you get the hang of installing new plugins and editing configuration files expanding its monitoring capabilities are easy.

    Icinga is better than Nagios because of its nicer user interface. New Relic can monitor CPU/memory and disk usage, but it's more of a performance and application troubleshooting tool rather than monitoring

    Return on Investment
    Kemp Technologies
    • Early detection of cyber security events and incidents.
    • Processing a large number of network flows on input (which means more than 60K flows per second)
    • Parameterization of detection methods.
    • The possibility to decide on the false-positive rate within the output of each method.

    Icinga GmbH
    • With one check you know which applications are faulty e.g. after an upgrade. Which is big time saver
    • You easily detect outages ion the applications so that your customer ideally does not even realize there was an outage.
    • Detect if the environment does deliver the same result as in the same time as before to detect shortages.
    • Additional information when debugging. Saved us several hours where we could simply point to a database which was slow.
