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.”
PRTG Network Monitor runs on a Windows machine within your network, collecting various statistics from the machines, software, and devices which you designate. PRTG comes with an easy-to-use web interface with point-and-click configuration. You can easily share data from it with non-technical colleagues and customers, including via live graphs and custom reports. This will let you plan for network expansion, see what applications are using most of your connection, and make sure that no one is hogging the entire network just to torrent videos.
To monitor a large IT environment, it's important to be able to scale PRTG up. Paessler PRTG Enterprise Monitor includes all the proven capabilities of PRTG Network Monitor, which are enhanced by exclusive ITOps Board for a service-oriented, central overview of multiple PRTG servers.
I have been given a project at work to compare PRTG and observer , is the any one with that kind of information , I need to prepare the document in a weeks time for system users . can you please assist if you have any kind of information .
thanks
Hi,
I've no experience with PRTG, but you can find that on their site:

I used to practice some time ago Nagios, on Linux boxes with web Logic, and
it adapted well to our needs.
I'm no longer experimenting with supervision tools as i switched to backup and
storage.

PRTG is a network monitoring tool that uses SNMP protocol. You can configure weblogic server to use SNMP protocol to communicate with PRTG using agents.
The same thing for Oracle ESB, by enabling SNMP traps in the Oracle Servcie bus.
I think your business requirement as well as budget, will determine which
monitoring tool you can use.
I think all network monitoring tools, using SNMP traps, can do the job. Any SW or applications can build an SNMP traps to communicate with the monitoring tool.
You can consult Oracle's manuals for more details.
I hope this will be helpful.
All the best,
Ashraf Galal
