Nagios XI and ServiceNow IT Operations Management are prominent players in IT monitoring and management. ServiceNow has the upper hand due to its comprehensive service management features.
Features: Nagios XI offers customizable plugins, real-time alerts, and scalability for various environments. It supports network services and is highly extensible but depends on scripting. ServiceNow IT Operations Management integrates IT operations, offering features like Discovery, Service Mapping, and AI analytics for effective service management.
Room for Improvement: Nagios XI needs better integration capabilities, simplified setup, and more intuitive dashboards. Enhancing high availability and documentation would also be beneficial. ServiceNow IT Operations Management should improve its pricing model for smaller organizations and expand its service discovery and mapping to integrate more technologies seamlessly.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Nagios XI can be deployed on-premises or in private clouds, requiring significant configuration. Its support community is large, but formal support costs are high. ServiceNow IT Operations Management supports cloud and hybrid deployments, featuring easier setup and professional customer support, which can be expensive like its licensing.
Pricing and ROI: Nagios XI provides an economical pricing model, including a free open-source version and a competitive paid version for enterprises, leading to high ROI due to low initial expenses. ServiceNow IT Operations Management, though costly, offers feature-rich services justifying its price for large enterprises, linking pricing and ROI to its extensive capabilities.

Reviews from Real Users
Nagios XI stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Several major ones are its integration options and monitoring abilities, as well as its alerting features.
David P., a senior DevOps engineer at EML Payments Ltd, writes, “We use Nagios as a network discovery tool. We use Nagios to maintain our uptime statistics and to monitor our services. It has allowed us to be much more sophisticated in our monitoring and alerting.”
