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.”
An IT-OSS manager at a comms service provider notes, “Nagios XI has a custom API feature, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature.”

Network and Security Engineer at a educational organization with 1,001-5,000 employees | 3.5 | I use Nagios XI mainly for monitoring server performance like CPU and memory. It's easy to install compared to other solutions, saving setup time. However, its user interface needs improvement. I considered Grafana and Libre NMS as alternatives. |
Site Duty Manager at Assw | 4.0 | We use Nagios XI for network and server monitoring, appreciating its effective alerting system and useful features like JPS Web. Although we love it, the GUI could be improved. We've also considered alternatives like Zabbix and ScienceLogic. |

Manager, Information Technology Monitoring at a tech services company with 201-500 employees | 3.0 | We primarily used Nagios XI to monitor Linux servers and scripts due to its simplicity and ease of use. However, we faced issues with graphics and scalability, found it expensive, and ultimately preferred Checkmk for its stability and affordability. |
