Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
Sensu is being used by our entire company for various monitoring purposes. With open-source plugins, we can do a lot more than the Nagios plugins that come shipped with it. We are using Sensu to track the health of our servers and of the definite processes the servers would be running.
- Cloud agnostic monitoring.
- Open source
- Container monitoring at the highest level.
- Monitoring plugins can be easily created.
- Cannot be solely used for tracking metrics over time.
- Not a very good UI.
Sensu was used for infrastructure monitoring by our internal IT team. We had been using Nagios for our monitoring but figured out fairly quickly that, even for a small business like ours, it doesn't really scale, and Nagios isn't really designed for today's age of containerized and cloud-based workloads.
- Unique concept as a "monitoring router" that can tie services together.
- Backward-compatible with Nagios environments.
- More of a DevOps focus than Nagios.
- Terrible documentation that assumes you're already an expert in everything that Sensu can do.
- Significantly more work than Nagios to get basic checks on and configured.
- Web interface is primitive and not even on the same level as Nagios XI.
- Large price hikes after Sensu Go was released.
