TeleMate is a platform that enables users to see their entire UC&C environment in a single dashboard so they can proactively monitor, troubleshoot and analyze. TeleMate has provided vendor-agnostic full-stack UC&C visibility and monitoring for 35 years. They company states they have worked with multiple industries, vendors, and business environments to help customers overcome unique communication observability challenges.
Nagios monitoring is well suited for any mission critical application that requires per/second (or minute) monitoring. This would probably include even a shuttle launch. As Nagios was built around Linux, most (85%) plugins are Linux based, therefore its more suitable for a Linux environment.
As Nagios (and dependent components) requires complex configurations & compilations, an experienced Linux engineer would be needed to install all relevant components.
Any company that has hundreds (or thousands) of servers & services to monitor would require a stable monitoring solution like Nagios. I have seen Nagios used in extremely mediocre ways, but the core power lies when its fully configured with all remaining open-source components (i.e. MySQL, Grafana, NRDP etc). Nagios in the hands of an experienced Linux engineer can transform the organizations monitoring by taking preventative measures before a disaster strikes.

We have been using TeleMate Predictive UC Analytics to help us troubleshooting issues with devices as it picks up not just CDR but other events that occur in the CUCM devices. They are currently making headway in capturing data from our Expressway Servers as we have several users working from home. This is an area in which not many tools out there to provide information we need as the expressways are a bit complex especially when being used in MRA. However, TeleMate Predictive UC Analytics is on track to be one of the first ones to get there. There is still a lot that Telemate has to offer however we are still in the process of getting all that set up on our side

Nagios could use core improvements in HA, though, Nagios itself recommends monitoring itself with just another Nagios installation, which has worked fine for us. Given its stability, and this work-around, a minor need.
Nagios could also use improvements, feature wise, to the web gui. There is a lot in Nagios XI which I felt were almost excluded intentionally from the core project. Given the core functionality, a minor need. We have moved admin facing alerts to appear as though they originate from a different service to make interacting with alerts more practical.

We're currently looking to combine a bunch of our network montioring solutions into a single platform. Running multiple unique solutions for monitoring, data collection, compliance reporting etc has become a lot to manage.

The Nagios UI is in need of a complete overhaul. Nice graphics and trendy fonts are easy on the eyes, but the menu system is dated, the lack of built in graphing support is confusing, and the learning curve for a new user is too steep.

I haven't had to use support very often, but when I have, it has been effective in helping to accomplish our goals. Since Nagios has been very popular for a long time, there is also a very large user base from which to learn from and help you get your questions answered.

Because we get all we required in Nagios [Core] and for npm, we have to do lots of configuration as it is not as easy as Comair to Nagios [Core]. On npm UI, there is lots of data, so we are not able to track exact data for analysis, which is why we use Nagios [Core].
We evaluated several other systems and went with TeleMate Predictive UC Analytics as they had a broader range of tools. We started looking for a CDR product and found that they provided those needs and had much more
With it being a free tool, there is no cost associated with it, so it's very valuable to an organization to get something that is so great and widely used for free.
You can set up as many alerts as you want without incurring any fees.
