The paper presents an empirical evaluation of two widely adopted open-source monitoring tools, Zabbix and Nagios Core. The comparison focuses on usability, functionality and overall effectiveness. The findings reveal that Zabbix is consistently rated higher by users, particularly for its ease of use and extensive feature set, making it a preferred choice for modern infrastructure monitoring in diverse business environments.
Information technology (IT) infrastructure encompasses a comprehensive array of physical and virtual components essential for managing and operating enterprise IT ecosystems. These components include hardware (servers, routers and switches), software (operating systems, databases and applications), networking elements such as firewalls and load balancers (Irughe et al., 2022; Daniel et al., 2021; Chinedu et al., 2021; Chinedu et al., 2020a; 2020b; and Ukhurebor and Nwankwo, 2019), and data storage solutions such as cloud-based storage or on-premises data centers (Nwankwo et al., 2019; Nwankwo and Ukurebor, 2020; and Momoh et al., 2021).
