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.

Simple to use - good value for your money

I have hardly involved Nagios since platform is stable for support but the one time that I did they were very responsive. I would probably suggest faster introduction of new features. Compared to other companies that have adopted agile methodologies for development, I believe that Nagios still has some room for improvement.

Excellent tool that's widely used - and best of all, it's free!

A great tool that has many uses, and best of all, it's free. It works just as good as many multi-thousand dollar tools and is easy to set up and configure. For small to medium businesses who want to get on board with a monitoring solution for free, I would highly recommend it. There are some use cases where some other tools might work better out of the box for larger organizations that may demand more out of their monitoring solution, but in many cases, Nagios is more than adequate. With the large variety of add-ons and ways to customize Nagios, it can also tackle the large scale deployments and other useful features.
