A suitable choice for unified and efficient infrastructure monitoring across diverse environments providing user-friendly GUI, cost-effectiveness, and versatility
We use it for this specific client, they've deployed multiple instances of it across various locations to facilitate monitoring. To effectively monitor their infrastructure, it seems necessary to implement additional monitoring solutions for all three types of devices they have Nagios Fusion…

Real-time dashboards have improved our deployment monitoring and incident response
We are using Opsview ourselves, rather than being a consultant or a reseller. We do not use its auto-discovery feature. We do not utilize its API driven architecture. I do not know what metrics we use to assess the effectiveness of Opsview's hybrid IT monitoring. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with Opsview as it is good for what it does. I do not know if Grafana has any other advantages besides better stats, as I am not involved in that side. Based on my experience, I would still recommend Opsview to others as it is good for what it does. I gave this review a rating of 8.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Nagios Fusion version 12.8 excels in user-friendly GUI design, cost-effectiveness, and ease of deployment."
"Being open source lets us customize it for our monitoring needs, saving us money."
"It is easier for client installation, and the configurations are doable even for a newcomer in the field."
"It's very easy to manage and monitor it."
"We now have a single view for all systems monitored within our IT estate, while we previously had three different systems (each configured differently)."
"We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider, and we also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients."
"There are several valuable features for us, including ease of configuration of monitoring of new hosts/services, worker redundancy and load balancing, and the fact that it’s compatible with the plethora of existing Nagios plugins available on the web."
"Over the past three years, we've grown by about 200%, and the system has been able to manage that growth."
"Excellent customer support from Cerner."
"The system is very robust and very rarely breaks."
"For me, scalability and reliability are the product's most valuable features."
"It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."
 

Cons

"Nagios Fusion should include a 'remember me' option when logging in, so we don't need to enter a username and password every time."
"Adding application performance monitoring to the product alongside infrastructure monitoring would make it a more complete and useful solution."
"In future iterations of this solution, there is a desire for more seamless integration with other monitoring software."
"There are some bugs, although not that many. There are some situations where the solution is not stable but the number of problems is not very high."
"Some of the graphics on Opsview could be improved."
"It can be a little bit flaky with the agent on VMware."
"Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved."
"Large Opsview setups come with high licensing fees."
"Hard to say, some minor changes could help improve ease of configuring (which have already been requested and are now on the roadmap)."
"Maybe the graphical representation can be improved. It can be enhanced for better visualization. It could be a little better. And the graph center can be improved."
"There is always room for improvement, and part of the reason we're looking at Grafana is because there are things it can do that Opsview cannot do as well."
"We have had some stability issues, but that is largely because we're using an unsupported database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite reasonable, especially when compared to the broader market."
"The solution is priced similarly to other tools offering similar features."
"I would rate pricing a seven out of ten, where ten is the highest price."
"The solution is not cheap. I think that the pricing is a little bit on the high side."
