ManageEngine Exchange Reporter Plus vs. Nagios XI

Nagios XI is suitable for inexpensive and very detailed monitoring of the physical hosts and VMs. Both Windows and Linux. This would require configuring 2-3 ways of monitoring for the same set of hosts and some time spent to fine tune the configurations. It may also be used for SQL and Apache front-ends such as Tomcat, Glassfish, etc.

• Robust, but visually old interface. Requires a lot of work to become presentable.
• Small selection of dashlets to construct new views.
• No MS Azure monitoring ability, nothing for “as service,” very limited Amazon cloud monitoring abilities.
• Questionable price politics (could make it a lot less for developing markets to actually increase use of the product and R&D budgets).
• No report designers nor the ability to create new reports. No changes in this area for years.
• Overall lack of new developments, making this product more and more outdated.
