Overall Satisfaction with Nagios Core

We use Nagios as our alternative Network Monitoring Software for our data centers and out branches. It helps you monitor branch with down wan links so that you can escalate it to [your] internet provider. Also gives you historical reports per device that helps you evaluate and track ups and down of servers or network equipment.
  • Network Monitoring
  • Reports generation
  • Freeware
  • Develop interface to look professional
  • Gives more detailed report
  • Add monitors and sensors compatibility
  • Device monitoring
  • Historical reports
  • Backup platform for network monitoring
  • Real time monitoring by using ICMP
As a backup NMS, it is better to invest to Nagios since it costs less than any other competitors which [provide] the same level of service. Maybe PRTG gives more features but you don't need all [those] features for your daily use so Nagios gives you what you need when it comes to monitoring.

Do you think Nagios Core delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Nagios Core's feature set?

Yes

Did Nagios Core live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Nagios Core go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Nagios Core again?

Yes

For us, we use it just [as] a backup for our main Network Monitoring Systems since it only uses ICMP to monitor the device. If you are looking [for] in monitoring devices using SNMP that will provide you auto discovery and details of your device, Nagios is not for you. But as a backup platform, it is a great tool.
