Nagios XI Reviews

• Real Time Alerts
• Network Map

Our infrastructure is now under monitoring proactively and we don't have to wait for complaints from the customers/internal operation team to inform regarding any issue with the service.

3D datacenter view of the infrastructure to have more specific control of the environment and concept of 360 solution to monitoring is now emerging.

We've been using it for over a year.

There were no issues during the deployment.

We have had no stability issues.

We've not scaled it as of now.

As it's an opensource project, there is good contribution to, and good support, from blogs and FAQs.

It's a simple setup for a normal Linux users.

In-house. Its simple deployment but complexity comes once you have to import more plugins. Do check the required infrastructure support before deploying and check alerting mechanism.

The community edition is free, and for an enterprise deployment its costing is good compared to other solutions.

I have tested Zenoss, ManageEngine solutions - Op Manager and Application Manager. We chose Nagios over Zenoss mainly because of its lightweight interface compared to Zenoss and the ManageEngine free edition has limited nodes.

First you need to do a complete analysis of the nodes and your requirements before implementing Nagios for monitoring.

It has a web front end and the Dashboards are really easy to customize.

We've been abel to integrate a human accesible interface for system monitoring our customers systems.

Backup mechanisms and some kind of templating system for dashboards are needed.

I've been using it for two years.

We have had no issues with the deployment.

We found certain stability issues that were solved by fine tuning some system parameters with support help.

It's been able to scale for our needs.

They have very accurate and fast support.

The initial setup looked quite straightforward, however, later on we found some performance issues that required the fine tuning of system parameters. Those changes were not very well documented, but technical support helped us resolve the issues perfectly.

The implementation of officially supported features was quite easy. We were also required to extend the system with a couple of ad-hoc functionalities and development of these pieces of code was not easy due to the lack of in depth documentation.

We performed the implementation in-house.

As they have their own official support, we decided to choose this product over the others we looked at.

Official support is a must have for working with this tool. If you want to cook it at home and face support on your own there are better alternatives with larger communities.
