Once it’s up and running, you can start adding devices for monitoring. Because Nagios XI uses an agentless architecture, this is as far as you need to go in terms of installation.
#Nagios xi free version install#
It involves downloading and deploying a virtual machine (VM) in either a VMware ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor environment. As long as you can install an OVA file on premises, you're good to go. After launching the VM, you can point your browser to the IP address listed on the console and log in using the default credentials. Installing Nagios XI is mostly a non-event. However, this doesn’t include phone support though. That costs extra, though granted, with it being a one time cost, this could be a significant savings over the lifetime of the product.

For that you get everything we reviewed plus additional capabilities around scheduled reporting, web-based console access, audit logging, and quite a bit more. For larger networks or IT pros with very advanced needs, Nagios also offers an Enterprise tier, which is also a node-based price starting at $3,495 for a perpetual license.

When your network grows enough to upgrade to the standard edition, you start at 100 nodes. A node is considered to be anything with an IP address. This is as opposed to PRTG, for example, where you have to license per sensor, which might be attractive to folks needing to monitor all aspects of each device on which the agent gets installed. That makes it very easy for new IT pros and those working smaller networks to engage with Nagios XI at minimal cost.
On the pricing side, for smaller shops with less than 7 hosts, there's a free version that can be downloaded directly off the website. While that's great for IT pros with some time under their belts, it makes for a steep enough learning curve to keep Nagios XI behind our Editors' Choice winners in the network monitoring category, Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold and Paessler PRTG. Starting at $1,995.00 for a perpetual license of the Standard Edition, this network monitoring tool is great for experienced IT professionals looking for a platform they can customize as the platform is rife with such features. If you've been an IT professional for any length of time, the name Nagios XI is likely a familiar one.
