When you need a cheap and simple reliable solution for “classic” monitoring of resources of the operating system, websites, databases, network and virtual infrastructure, which does not require large resources and qualified maintenance personnel. When you can rely on the open source community and develop your own solutions if needed.

So the Nagios [Core] gave us valuable features like report analysis and graphical structure, so it will easily evaluate and track the issue. Also, the email function is very useful, so we get informed at very crucial times with findings, and also generate templates for popular endpoints which make it very better.

Nagios does standard monitoring of servers and network devices very well. If you have an environment with many basic protocols to monitor, Nagios will work well out of the box for you. It also runs very reliably. Once it is set up, I have not had many problems with the service being available.

Excellent for host-level integration and usability. End users can get right in and use the tool to monitor their environment. Easily able to add tags and groupings, which is a must nowadays. The tool can integrate with LDAP and active directory, but we don't use that. We do everything on-premises and keep users separate.
