We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is easier for client installation, and the configurations are doable even for a newcomer in the field.""It's very easy to manage and monitor it.""Being open source lets us customize it for our monitoring needs, saving us money.""Nagios Fusion version 12.8 excels in user-friendly GUI design, cost-effectiveness, and ease of deployment."

More Nagios Fusion Pros →

"This solution allows me to have true visibility for any metrics when it comes to my cloud, and private.""The solution is great for virtualization and preparing the infrastructure in Tanzu to test products. It's very fast and has good visibility.""The most valuable aspects of the solution are its ease of use and its ease of implementation.""The features I find most valuable is the querying and alerting capabilities.""For us, the ease of deployment in combination with TMZ was the most important part because we don't have to manually deploy a complex monitoring solution. We can more or less do that with the click of a button, and we are not dependent on the developers to provide us with all the necessary features and functions to make that work. We can just deploy it on a workload cluster and monitor at least a good part of the workload. If we want to go into detail, we clearly need to make changes, but for a good part of application monitoring, it gives us good insights.""VMware comes with a support team, and if you have trouble, you can easily create a ticket, and VMware will help you. Therefore, the best aspect is the support.""People are very pleased with the implementation.""No issues with stability."

Cons
"In future iterations of this solution, there is a desire for more seamless integration with other monitoring software.""Nagios Fusion should include a 'remember me' option when logging in, so we don't need to enter a username and password every time.""There are some bugs, although not that many. There are some situations where the solution is not stable but the number of problems is not very high.""Adding application performance monitoring to the product alongside infrastructure monitoring would make it a more complete and useful solution."

More Nagios Fusion Cons →

"The main problem I have is that the license cost is very high.""The documentation and integration with Kubernetes could be improved.""In the new version, I would love to see more prediction capabilities. It would be great if one could see the alerts get a little more enriched with information and become more human-friendly instead of the technical stuff that they put in there. I think those would be really awesome outcomes to get.""The implementation is a long process that should be improved.""Its billing model is consumption-based. I understand the consumption-based model, but it is not necessarily easy to estimate and guess how many points or how much we are going to consume on a specific application up until we get to that point. So, for us, it would be helpful to have more insights or predictability into what we can expect from a cost perspective if we are starting to use specific features. This can potentially also drive our consumption a bit more.""It could use a URL document server. Everything in the market is moving towards automation and everybody's looking for the single click operations as well relational data locality.""The initial setup should be easier and more seamless.""I would like to see integration with Kubernetes cluster and APIs so that you can manage the entire stack."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is quite reasonable, especially when compared to the broader market."
  • More Nagios Fusion Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Different locations require different setups. In your terms, around 300 to around 400K USD."
  • "I don't have the details. In our case, there is a mixture in place. We have production usage, and we are also doing training for VMware. So, we also have a training instance. It is worth the money you would spend on it. That's because if you were to build all of this yourself by using some of the open source tools, then you would need a lot of time."
  • "The licensing costs are very high, particularly when you consider that we have to purchase a level 1 license for every integration, such as the load balancer, HAProxy, and the MSSP. And if you want to use vSAN, that's another license. Then, of course, Tanzu Observability has its own separate license."
  • "I would rate the pricing as three out of five."
