We can't know which one may best match your needs/expectations/preferences. |

You can spend some time looking at their documentation to get an understanding |
| 9 |
of how difficult it may be to configure them and then play with their online |
| 10 |
demos to experience the touch & feel of each. |

|
| 12 |
Then install the one that best matches your requirements and if your don't |
| 13 |
like it enough install the second best and so on. If you are prepared to get |
| 14 |
your hands dirty you can somewhat customise the look and feel (e.g. using |
| 15 |
CSS), but the monitoring engine is what will provide you with the necessary |
| 16 |
functionality. |

Personally, I ended up using Nagios because at the time it had a load of |
| 19 |
plugins that others did not. Once I spent a lot of time installing graphing |
| 20 |
engines and configuring it, I had invested too much time to ditch it and try |
| 21 |
something different. |

Thankfully, you can start afresh your quest and evaluate how each of these |
| 24 |
tools meets your requirements. |
