    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.

    JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform is great when you are looking at building more or less pure Java applications and SOA micro-services that may integrate with multiple external data sources. It is less useful when you are looking to build simple SOA applications that are simple in nature since the overhead associated with deploying as well as learning BPEL.

    • JBoss is open source so the cost overhead to deploy and build application is very low.
    • JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform and its parent Redhat are reputed and well adapted in the industry so it is easy to find best practices documentation for complex deployments of JBoss middleware.

    Cons
    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.

    • JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform is dependent and build for JEE/Java application so using a different programming paradigm will be much harder.
    • There is still a learning curve to get familiar with BPEL making it harder to get an SOA micro-service up and running compared to a fully cloud-based service

    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.

    Redhat support generally is great and that is true for the JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform as well. Even if you do not buy support from Redhat, you can reply on the discussion board and bug fixes via the open-source JBoss without much trouble.

    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

    Oracle SOA Suite (Oracle BPM + Oracle BPEL + other components) and IBM WebSphere middleware is most costly and suited if you are already using applications and other middleware components from these vendors. Mulesoft (Salesforce Mule ESB) is best when you need deep integration with one of Salesforce's existing products. JBoss and Apache Web Server are best when you do not want to invest infant CapEx/OpEx on license fee. Apache Web Server based middleware is best for simple SOA applications.

    Return on Investment
    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.

    • Positive impact on the business by being able to use existing Java/JEE expertise to build and deploy applications and business services.
    • Positive ROI due to no license cost for JBoss Enterprise SOA.
