I would recommend Icinga to others for IT infrastructure monitoring. My advice is to allocate internal resources to manage the solution with adequate teams, and once that's done, adopt the product. Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.
I recommend Icinga to those who plan to use it. To be honest, till now, I haven't found any issues with Icinga. In my company, we consider Icinga to be a tool that will be used for a long time as it is a fine product. In the IT field, if a product functions and runs fine for a long time, you pay for it and continue to use it until you face big problems with the solution and you have no way to fix them. I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.
Using Icinga depends on the types of servers you are using. If you have a mix of VMs, Linux, RHEL, and Windows, I would say you can confidently proceed with Icinga. However, if your setup is specifically focused on Microsoft technologies, there might be other tools that could be more suitable. For complex environments with different data sources and the need for centralized monitoring and alerting, Icinga would be a strong recommendation. I would rate Icinga an eight out of ten. It excels in its vast scope and ability to cater to diverse teams and complex environments while still being useful in simpler setups. The flexibility to integrate various components and extend its capabilities is a major advantage. However, there is room for improvement in terms of support response time and certain features, such as dashboards, which could make it even better.

I rate Icinga seven out of 10. It's hard to monitor containers using Icinga, but the company will soon release a new version that can monitor containers.
I would give the solution an overall score of seven out of ten. You should take your time to set it up perfectly because once it is set up initially, it is scalable and can be transferred to any environment.
Using Icinga doesn't require a financial investment, but it does require an investment in people and time to support it. You'll need technical staff and some time to get it up and running. However, once established, Icinga can easily detect and deploy issues quickly. In a couple of days, you can establish a certain base before moving on to fine-tuning. If you don't have a budget for a monitoring tool, Icinga can be a good option, but it will require some time and effort to set up and maintain. Icinga does the job and is fairly stable. We didn't have any issues with it. However, it requires human resources for maintenance and upkeep, which is a drawback compared to using SaaS solutions. Overall, I rate Icinga a six out of ten.
We're not a partner. We are just a customer and end-user. We use the desktop version of the solution. Overall, it is a good product. I would rate it nine out of ten overall.
I would recommend Icinga. It's an open-source solution. It's quite easy, it's simple to use. Checks can be run with Python code, and Shell Script code. Overall, we like it. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

If you have a small infrastructure or a small number of devices that you want to monitor, then I think it's a good solution. If you have a lot of devices or an enterprise level installation that you want to monitor, I don't think that this solution can be entertained. I've been in IT infrastructure support for the last 15 years and I have not seen such a solution which has this very basic level of monitoring. I would rate it a four out of ten.
