I've been working five years with SCOM 2007 R2 and last year we had to choose between upgrading to SCOM 2012 or choosing an alternative solution. After some extensive research, we made the decision to choose Nagios XI as a replacement. As the price for Nagios XI is about 1/30 of the price for SCOM 2012 (SC suite) over a period of three years, I did not know what to expect.
Today I will be migrating the last 4 servers from SCOM to Nagios XI and I must say I'm very happy to have choosen Nagios XI. The Nagios XI support team helped me through the setup of our Nagios XI server, plugins and components and answered all my probably very noobish questions. Besides the support they gave, they also listened to my complaints and with the help of a feature request system, they have been adding features that did not even existed a year ago.. Therefore I'd like to give them this excellent review!Nagios Xi Install
