Simplifies setup and requires user interface enhancement
Nagios XI is easy to install, which sets it apart from other open-source solutions I've tried. Typically, setting up a monitoring system on Linux involves cloning files from GitHub, building it, and installing many dependencies, but with Nagios XI, it wasn't like that. Nagios XI simplifies our setup and reduces the time spent configuring monitoring tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a very stable solution and the best solution for monitoring any IT infrastructure for all companies."
"It provides an easy and powerful solution to network monitoring so I can pay attention to other concerns."
"Overall, it's a powerful system."
"Nagios is the best software of its kind if you have time for configure any host and network, and you can do quite everything with a bit of scripting."
"It's very easy to install it and manage it with Nagios XI's interface."
"The ROI is very good."
"Simplicity of configuration; I can set up configuration of 100 devices with about 10 services in one to two days."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"The Tintri product line as a whole has freed up a lot of resources from constant administration of legacy enterprise storage."
 

Cons

"The installation can get very difficult depending on what Linux flavour you are using."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"I feel that the maturity and user interface needs to be improved."
"Nagios XI doesn't provide scripting. For example, if we have built up multiple IPX tunnels from a base location to a data center location and want to monitor or trigger an alert if the tunnel goes down, Nagios XI does not automatically send alerts notifying us that the tunnel is down."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"From an alerting point of view, some graphics and metrics don't work properly with Nagios XI as they do with Checkmk."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"A better Tintri would be a "cheaper" one to get things started again."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is high with separate licensing for the product and support."
"It is good to contact experts for advice about what is the best solution for your specific infrastructure and enterprise."
"We are using the free version of this solution."
"The pricing is really cost efficient. The licensing is perpetual and can be renewed very easily."
"The licensing fees for this solution are approximately $3,000 USD per year."
"Nagios XI is open source."
"For the cost of the commercial product and support, and taking into account the open source characteristics of it, I believe it is difficult to a better value."
"This solution is very expensive, at approximately $5,000 USD when I purchased it, which is why I haven't upgraded my version in several years."

Nagios vs. Zabbix vs. PRTG vs. Spiceworks vs. Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor
I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want…
