I tried out nagios and one huge winning factor for Hobbit was
simplicity. I put quite a bit of time into getting nagios off the
ground with little luck. And in the same amount of time, I was able
to get nearly all functionality I required out of a monitoring
program.

As much as I dont want to move away from Hobbit/Big Brother I have been
asked to compare Hobbit to Nagios. I would imagine quite a number of people
on this list have experienced many of the offerings out theere before
changing to hobbit or using a combination of products.
I've done a quick google and there is a bit of stuff out there but
obviously the more the merrier.
So yeah pros cons from all aspects would be quite welcome and perhaps the
results could be stuck up on the Wiki somewhere
if someone are willing to contribute the comparison efforts.
How about here ?
