Overall Satisfaction with Nagios
We use Nagios along with several hundred custom checks to monitor our environment and customer environments. We have been running Nagios Open source for 15 years, I have been directly involved in managing it for 5 years. It addresses our need for Systems monitoring and works alongside many other tools in our Open source Ecosystem
- Endpoint Monitoring
- Raising Issues
- Network Monitoring
- Steep Learning curve
- Highly customizable to a fault
- Faster response times to issue
- Better fine grained metrics
- Lowe cost then previous tools
Commercial tools where expensive and not as capable for our needs.
Many had other functions that where not as useful for monitoring, such as automation, scripting, software installation. Many of which we had migrated to purpose-built tools that served our needs better.
