## Reviews

### "OP5 Feedback by Hossam Eldin" — 4.0/5

> **Hossam Eldin** | *20 December 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Op5 Monitor does the Job of monitoring the Network nodes and the status of the network devices such as Network Switches, Servers, Bandwidth \& Server health status, and even the free version of it can do all of that
> 
> **Cons**: OP5 seems to do the work as a Network monitoring tool, it has a user friendly dashboard \& can even send you notifications, but what i don't like about it is the central control, which means if i want to run as script through it, i can't, and such feature is available in other Network monitoring tools
> 
> My overall experience with OP5 is a satisfying experience, especially that you can get all of the mentioned features for free, which is a very satisfying feature for small \& mid level organizations

### "High quality enterprise product" — 5.0/5

> **Sören** | *17 May 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: If you already have a monitoring product of the Nagios flavour, you can keep all you config during migration to OP5. Because of the full rest API you can integrate is easily into your process flows (ticketing system etc).  OP5 has a great support team with a lot of detailed knowledge of the product.
> 
> **Cons**: In very large setups the behaviour can sometimes be different and need tweaking. Work is still being done to the web interface to make it more user and mobile friendly.
> 
> We have integrated OP5 into our our process flows and automated a lot of actions into it. Due to the full rest api, we are able to deliver extra features and integrations to our customers and internal teams.

### "OP5 has outstanding customer support" — 5.0/5

> **Jørgen** | *28 May 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to add "big numbers" widgets in OP5 monitor is a good idea: functionality stripped to the bare minimum (but so effective). The API is outstanding (and cool that adding object using XLS(X) sheets are also supported). Finally a Nagios-based product that makes high availabilty and scaling-out easy and admin-friendly: these aspects are built-in "peers" and "pollers" and should be considered in every high-level design.
> 
> **Cons**: The Web GUI (NaCoMa) is easy to understand and stable but not always intuitive in relation to copying/cloning or adding/changing template services.
> 
> good insight for our end-customers, consultancy hours for our company

### "Business grade monitoring with all the features you can expect and desire." — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *20 April 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Keep any previous Nagios-based monitoring you've worked on importing it into a real Enterprise tool.
> 
> **Cons**: Would work towards better automatic tools to handle networking devices. Layer 2-3 automapping features would make a real difference.
> 
> Kept my previous knowledge and work on Nagios, quickly moving into a totally modern, easy to use and powerful monitoring environment. Most useful tools are totally customizable dashboards and business services to quickly correlate and pinpoint any critical event.

### "Easily the best monitoring tool out there" — 5.0/5

> **Peter** | *20 April 2018* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to get started from scratch (and getting better with new auto discovery feature on it's way)
Easy to add new functionality from open source community
> 
> **Cons**: Some components are not integrated as well as others (e.g. nagvis for visualisation and synergy for business services)
No out of the box support for modern authentication methods (although this is something they are/will be working on)
