    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.

    • Threat prediction and network forensics are the most useful features. It's possible for me to see who received and clicked on any malware on the network, for example. This is the feature I enjoy the most.
    • In addition, the capture packet provides a wealth of information.
    • The support.

    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.

    • Lacking out of the box best practice templates etc. It relies heavily on customization.
    • Lack of up to date threat feeds.
    • Difficult to learn and use initially.

    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

    ES offers the single pane of glass for investigation and monitoring needs, however, to get everything onboarded can be daunting. The identiy and assets enrichment was not as straightforward and required a lot of manual work to make them work. For it to be optimized for full benefit, there is a layer of complexity that needs to be managed along the journey post deployment as well

    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.

    • The tool is great and an important part of my tool box
    • The level of administration needed is a little too high
    • Support relationships have to be customer led and prompted
