Flexible and Extensible and a great value

Pros

  • Easily extensible. We write many of our own monitoring plugins for Opsview and use open source Nagios community plugins as well
  • Quick to deploy. Don't need to worry about all of the dependencies that you need to with something like Nagios
  • It just works. Most of the housekeeping tasks are completely automated
  • Nice visualizations and dashboards

  • Could have deeper AWS integrations ... for example using IAM roles to query AWS
  • Notification profiles could be easier to use/configure., as well as updated to include more current notification methods
