    Github has a much larger community of users than Gitlab, and its interface is slightly more 'clean' and easy to navigate. Github's brand name is also more recognizable and its users are generally very helpful and willing to contribute to exciting open source projects.

    GitHub is an easy to go tool when it comes to Version Controlling, CI/CD workflows, Integration with third party softwares. It's effective for any level of CI/CD implementation you would like to. Also the the cost of product is also very competitive and affordable. As of now GitHub lacks capabilities when it comes to detailed project management in comparison to tools like Jira, but overall its value for money.

    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.

    Pros
    GitHub
    • Version control: GitHub provides a powerful and flexible Git-based version control system that allows teams to track changes to their code over time, collaborate on code with others, and maintain a history of their work.
    • Code review: GitHub's pull request system enables teams to review code changes, discuss suggestions and merge changes in a central location. This makes it easier to catch bugs and ensure that code quality remains high.
    • Collaboration: GitHub provides a variety of collaboration tools to help teams work together effectively, including issue tracking, project management, and wikis.

    Cons
    GitHub
    • Not an easy tool for beginners. Prior command-line experience is expected to get started with GitHub efficiently.
    • Unlike other source control platforms GitHub is a little confusing. With no proper GUI tool its hard to understand the source code version/history.
    • Working with larger files can be tricky. For file sizes above 100MB, GitHub expects the developer to use different commands (lfs).
    • While using the web version of GitHub, it has some restrictions on the number of files that can be uploaded at once. Recommended action is to use the command-line utility to add and push files into the repository.

    • 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.

    GitHub's ease of use and continued investment into the Developer Experience have made it the de facto tool for our engineers to manage software changes. With new features that continue to come out, we have been able to consolidate several other SaaS solutions and reduce the number of tools required for each engineer to perform their job responsibilities.

    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.

    Usability
    GitHub
    GitHub is a clean and modern interface. The underlying integrations make it smooth to couple tasks, projects, pull requests and other business functions together. The insights and reporting is really strong and is getting better with every release. GitHub's PR tooling is strong for being web based, i do believe a better code editor would rival having to pull merge conflicts into local IDE.

    There are a ton of resources and tutorials for GitHub online. The sheer number of people who use GitHub ensures that someone has the exact answer you are looking for. The docs on GitHub itself are very thorough as well. You will often find an official doc along with the hundreds of independent tutorials that answers your question, which is unusual for most online services.

    While I don't have very much experience with these 2 solutions, they're two of the most popular alternatives to GitHub. Bitbucket is from Atlassian, which may make sense for a team that is already using other Atlassian tools like Jira, Confluence, and Trello, as their integration will likely be much tighter. Gitlab on the other hand has a reputation as a very capable GitHub replacement with some features that are not available on GitHub like firewall tools.

    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
    GitHub
    • Team collaboration significantly improved as everything is clearly logged and maintained.
    • Maintaining a good overview of items will be delivered wrt the roadmap for example.
    • Knowledge management and tracking. Over time a lot of tickets, issues and comments are logged. GitHub is a great asset to go back and review why x was y.

    • 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.
