7SIGNAL vs Icinga: Which is a better fit?

The experience has been good. Customer service helped when we needed and users have been happy.

A little intimidating at first, lots of data to take in.

Very easy to use and a great benefit to monitoring our wireless network.

Getting the data out of the system is painful. I feel like a need a PHD in 7Signal to get the data out of the system.

The Saphire Eye has a great feature set with really great potential.

Good product overall help us to identify an issue's with the configuration on wireless product.

Its powerful analytics help us discover very useful insights about our network infrastructure.

But for some of the issues, it is very hard to find resolutions faster.

Amazing and Powerful Monitoring with a Steep Learning Curve.

If you install Icinga in RHEL system you must to pay a subscription in order to access to It repository for update the software.

Open Source, Self-hostable, Public Documentation, Widely supported, Checks can be written completely by yourself, great Community.

As stated before, the initial set-up is tricky, with varying steps needed depending on the OS it is running on.

As an open source project, Icinga offers a free, open, and complete solution for most operation monitoring. In particular, Icinga is great for monitoring hosts and alerting on basic metrics.

It has constant development that can be a problem with outside plugins that are not supported so professionally. Also core product needs some knowledge to set up and maintain.
