Icinga Reviews

The primary use case of this solution is for surveillance for some of the servers for our clients.

The drafts are easy but what I like about Icinga is that there are many add-ons that you can download.

The user interface is good, it's open-source, and it's easy to use.

They need to simplify the management of what the user can see and not see. The roles should be simpler.

At this time, the layout of the website is a bit difficult. It should be more user-friendly for changing the background and logos.

I started using Icinga approximately one year ago.

It's a stable solution. It's working as expected and there are no issues.

This is a scalable product. We have approximately 30 users in our company.

We do web checking for solutions when we run into problems.

At the start, the initial setup was a bit complex, but after reading everything it was simple.

It's a bit about the configuration and what you have to follow.

You have to install it on the web and then go through the checks. It can take some time, especially if you have many servers to be monitored.

We have our own team to maintain this solution.

It's an open-source solution.

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.

The value of Icinga is that it has hundreds of plugins, so it's really easy to monitor pretty much anything. The huge spectrum of plugins enables users to monitor different technologies. That is Icinga's advantage. It is also open source.

The user experience – in terms of the usability of the application – could be improved. Another important thing is to work on a better tactical overview. 

Icinga should also be updated with the latest cloud capabilities. I don't know whether it does the monitoring of containers, but that would definitely be something important to hone in on. 

In general, the product does not look good. However, it does what it is supposed to do. So, the improvements should focus on usability and UI.

I have been using Icinga in multiple companies for at least seven years.

This is a stable product. We have seen no problems with stability. 

I have never had any problems with Icinga, so I will assume that it is scalable. 

I do not have any experience with Icinga's technical support. Our people have been able to use it without technical support so far. 

The initial setup was easy. 

We do not have any licensing costs. 

I do remember that we evaluated multiple products but I do not recall their names. 

I would recommend this product.
