Compare Opsview Community edition
So how does our free edition - Opsview Community edition - compare to other open source monitoring systems?
Well, in truth, there are lots to choose from and each one is extensible using addons. So we've done an out-of-the-box comparison between Opsview Community 3.13 edition, the most established open source monitoring tool, Nagios® Core, and the free software projects Icinga and Zabbix.
Want even more power?
If you want a massively scalable, production-ready system with enterprise-grade reporting functionality, network auditing tools, service desk integration and more, you need Opsview Enterprise edition.
