I have the same amount of information after watching this as i did before. Next time try to not speak with a pringles can into the computers builtin microphone...

@internetsucks2010 for more up to date information please visit our website. There you'll find a newer comparison chart and if you want more technical info, see the blog post "Icinga vs Nagios – a developer’s comparison" that will take you to a wiki chart. Thanks for your feedback - next time, I'll try speaking through a tube of vegemite ;)

[jeroth1987]

looks good, however, can you compare Icinga and Nagios XI, not core?

[Icinga]

@jeroth1987 hmm, Icinga is free and open source while Nagios XI is a pay-for-product and closed. It would be like comparing Icinga to Tivoli. Nonetheless, have a look at our website for the latest comparison chart. Icinga has 2 user interfaces - Icinga New Web is a better in comparison to Nagios XI.

glad to hear! about section on our website is probably the best place to start

icinga sucks...

[Icinga]

@ikaruichiro Thanks for your thoughts, we're curious though as to why? Constructive criticism is welcome!

The speaker's swallowing syllables, hard to understand.

[cutestbabycomp]

@pauxps Aussies are at the forefront of language evolution. Fortunately syllables have been removed from our everyday linguistics thus conserving energy.

Nagios XI is 95% open, and most of the components can be used with Core. In your position I wouldn't want to compare them either. nagios is better than tivoli as well.

Please change the narrator.Sometimes the voice is loud, or whispering my god what weird.

@ikaruichiro your comment too!

[MrJimmypw]

Well done. You have developed an entire application to solve a question that nobody asked.
