Nagios Testimonials

"We employ Nagios in-house because we’re non-profit and the price is right! Nagios has saved the day many times for us. Here are a few examples. We had servers in a closet due to lack of data center. We had a ceiling HVAC unit to cool the room and it would die often. We actually lost a server because of it. Well, we purchased a temperature sensor that works with nagios and installed it. Within the week the unit failed and we got an alert within 10 minutes because the temperature rose so quickly. We were able to get service for the unit quickly and come up with measures to lower the heat to keep things running. Certainly saved the day! We also started monitoring our website with nagios because it would go down often and we wouldn’t know it. So, with the monitoring in place, we get immediate text messages when it’s down and we can notify our design company to kick it. This has been a life saver. I don’t think I could do my job without nagios."

"I came to ValueClick over 8 years ago to build the network operations organization which includes monitoring and notification for the company. I was tired of using “enterprise” monitoring solutions which just were not “open” and scalable for a companies needs. The company started using Netsaint, and quickly moved to Nagios when the upgrade was available. Nagios has made me a hero within our company as its given us the ability to monitor and notify our real time ad serving environment, serving over 5 billion ads per day. We currently have over 15,000 elements within our Nagios configuration and through automation and great integration with our RT system we have designed and implemented a real-time notification engine for over 30 distinct escalation groups within the company. In addition, thanks to Nagios we are able to empower our over 300 engineers to develop their own monitoring checks and implement them into the Nagios system, giving us “best of breed” monitoring within the company. We are most likely one of the largest online service based companies in the US, not requiring a 24X7 on-site team (NOC) thanks to complete automation and “accountable monitoring”. This saves the company money and also puts the alert into the hands of the person responsible for fixing it. Thank you Nagios."
