I have the same opinion, BB is less flexible than Nagios.

The advantages of BB in the eyes of my employer are
- the amount of already through BB monitored hosts, appr. 400 (compared 
to appr. 200 monitored hosts through Nagios)
- the base of productive scripts which monitor especially our big 
Solaris systems and database installations (Oracle, Informix)
- the variety of already existing scripts for BB

The main reason from my very personal view was: they decided it this 
way, they don't want Linux systems.
And - it easier to train one Nagios Admin then three BB Admins :-)

Regards, Jens
