check_mk vs nagios xi

[peter19x]

Hello,

I am just curious to know what nagios xi brings more then a check_mk addon on top of nagios core. Because I cannot find any comparison on the internet.

Thanks,
Peter

The following doc reveals quite a few differences between the two, does this help?

To add on to what @bwallace posted, we don't have a direct comparison so honestly I'd have to check out the latest check_mk. But generally speaking, XI offer easier configuration, nice reports/visualizations, very customizable alerting, some bulk modification capability, and a lot more over Core. You also get support from the Nagios team, over forums, emails, or phone (optionally if you want it). XI integrates with our other solutions very nicely as well, so you get that "whole suite" capability.
