Overall Satisfaction with Nagios

We use Nagios to monitor our internal IT infrastructure in our headquarters and remote office. Nagios being open source has great benefits by providing vast amounts of configurations capabilities and the support community is another added bonus. We have been pro-active and less reactive when issues arise and reliability has greatly increased.
  • I have not run into a device that Nagios can't monitor.
  • One of the best parts is that Nagios is open source and free!
  • It has great customization and can be configured to your exact needs.
  • The learning curve with Nagios is a little steep and can take some time.
  • Wish Nagios sold a cloud option or managed option.
  • UI needs improvement.
  • The ROI is great since Nagios is free and the only thing that it requires is dedicating a few staff members' time to learn.
  • Overall our IT operations reliability has improved greatly.
  • Nagios has been able to meet all our objectives and goals by showing clearly where our reliability issues are.
PTRG gets expensive after the free 100 endpoints for small organizations.
The support community for Nagios has been great. There's an option for paid support you can use the community support forums. Since Nagios is open source the support community is vast.
