<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I have a client that has presented me with the
question of “Why use Nagios rather than MOM (Microsoft Operations
Monitor)” apart from the obvious price difference I could not find much
information in direct comparison to the two. I was wondering if anyone had any information
that I could tell him on what MOM does that Nagios can’t (if any). MOM is
obviously geared towards a Microsoft Environment where nagios is much more
generic but with NSClient, nagios can monitor a lot of important windows
components but I don’t know if it is up to the same level (or even close)
to MOM.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
