In their own words
Nagios XI
Nagios XI monitors servers, network devices, applications and services from a Linux server you manage. It checks configured thresholds, records results and sends notifications. Standard includes more than 90 configuration wizards, auto-discovery, dashboards, performance graphs, an open REST API, automation, configuration rollback and snapshots. Enterprise adds SLA and capacity-planning reports, scheduled reports and pages, business process intelligence, bulk changes and an audit log. Users can be restricted to assigned host and service groups, with authentication options including Active Directory or LDAP over SSL, Microsoft Entra ID single sign-on and Duo two-factor authentication. It is self-hosted on Linux, with virtual machine images for several hypervisors and offline installation on Red Hat and CentOS Stream. A 30-day trial provides unlimited monitoring, Enterprise features and direct support without a credit card. The free plan is limited to 7 nodes or 100 services, whichever comes first. Paid perpetual licenses are priced by monitored nodes: Standard is $2,595.00 once and Enterprise is $4,690.00 once, each shown for 100 nodes.
Site24x7 Hardware Monitoring
Site24x7 Hardware Monitoring tracks health metrics across SNMP devices, servers, switches, routers, and firewalls, including temperature, fan speed, power supply, and disk status. It can discover VMware ESX/ESXi host hardware and monitor CPU, memory, fan, temperature, voltage, power, storage, and battery sensors. Plugins monitor hardware configurations on HPE iLO and Dell iDRAC servers, and custom sensors are supported. Site24x7 says its coverage includes more than 15,000 SNMP-enabled devices from over 450 vendors. The hardware offering also includes network configuration management, real-time traffic and bandwidth statistics, customizable infrastructure dashboards, and automation for incident remediation. Alerts can arrive by email, SMS, voice call, or push notification; sensor history is 30 days. It runs on web, Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, API, and self-hosted environments. Paid plans start at $9/mo (annual), and the service offers a 30-day trial without requiring a credit card. A free-forever option covers uptime monitoring for up to 50 resources.
