Citerar user-ccc3871158b0@xymon.invalid:
some groups in my company start to use Nagios.
Has anyone used it..
Can anyone give the feedback regarding the Nagios. Pro or Con are welcome.
I need that information to defend my choice of Xymon.
I have used Xymon/Hobbit (and Big Brother before that) *a lot* and Nagios in the incarnation of Opsview quite a bit less. I can say that they are conceptually similar and a choice would have to be based on personal taste. Development of plugins / ext tests is almost identical and either can be trivially converted to the other.

Sorry for not being able to cough up more substantial support. I really can't think of anything that you can do with one but not the other.
