Icinga vs. SwipedOn Visitor Management System

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.

This system is suited for all companies whether there are only 5 employees to hundreds - it's simple to use and professional. The history allows you to review staff timings, what visitors have been here within the last month (or more).

• Wealth of community-developed plugins.
• Stable codebase.
• Icinga 2 supports distributed monitoring.
• Very performant, can support tens of thousands of checks per server.

• Great example of innovation for visitors to the business. We often hear remarks from visitors how impressed they are.
• Simple yet effective method for employees to sign in out.
• Simple administration tools to add/remove employees.
• Information can easily be extracted into Excel.

• 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.

I had a lot of questions about the process, how it works, and if it will work for us. Mauro was initially the person I dealt with and he was a great help. Anything we couldn't do via email was scheduled for a call. There was no pressure to purchase but plenty of support before we signed and been the same since.

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

We haven't used other commercial products. We have used a custom web-base interface that was limited in customizablity and data filtering. We also used paper sign-ins that had to be transcribed. SwipedOn is a improvement from both of those in that it is more customizable for a admin user and is easy for the students to use, so it seems to be increasing the the precentage of students who sign in and accuracy of the collected data

• 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.

• It is easier for students to use than our previous solutions which included paper signins that had to be transcribed into a spreadsheet and a custom webbased interface that we (the immediate admins) could not readily customize.
• Data capture is about the same percentages, but we are more confident that the data is more accurate due to ease of use and not transcription errors.
