Overall Satisfaction with Nagios

I recommend Nagios for whole servers, routers, switches on organizations, and application too. Nagios will send emails. Nagios will show information on equipment or applications with trouble. Nagios is very powerful.
  • Nagios has a big community, maybe each day you have a new programmed plugin or a plugin for new hardware or software. This is perfect because they work with Nagios XI and Nagios Core (paid and free version).
  • You can use the free version (that is limited version), but if you want to go to the paid version (Nagios XI) with more features, you don't need to migrate all the information. [You] only [have to] update and integrate.
  • Nagios is not married to a big enterprise of software or hardware, this is marvelous. Nagios can monitor all platforms and major applications.
  • Best monitoring since [the] cell phone. Today it's functional but ugly.
  • Best platform for sending to an app (like WhatsApp) telegram messages.
  • Positive impact: You have control over your business, not backward, how? You have alarms on your systems and apps, then the alarms show the problems, not operators or other people in the enterprise.
  • Positive impact: The price is for the number of hosts, not per host.
  • The best scenarios: Big or medium companies with own [their] datacenters. For example 20 or more servers, routers, switches.
  • The worst scenarios: Servers in the cloud (they can use other solutions) or less than 5 servers in the company.
