Overall Satisfaction with Nagios Core

Nagios Core is currently being used by our infrastructure teams and enterprise monitoring. We have about 50 users accessing the app, with 3 people serving as admins. The tool is used to monitor hosts and logs, and also dashboarding is one of the favorite pieces of the tool. We have several different apps, and Nagios is a key component to our health!
  • Host-level monitoring.
  • Log monitoring.
  • Dashboarding.
  • Color schemes.
  • Seems cheap.
  • Lite weight user design.
Nagios is a great tool for the price. Lots of bang for your buck if you know what I mean. The tool installs easily and has a very lightweight footprint. This also allows for great batch installation and configuration. Tags can be applied and pushed throughout the org. We'll continue to use it.
We haven't always used Nagios Core support, but when I do - it's amazing. They have a low-cost option which we use, and for us it's the right choice!

Would you buy Nagios Core again?

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.
