I've used both Nagios and Icinga; as recently as a few months ago. Out of the box there is not much difference, files that were in say /etc/nagios are now in /etc/icinga. I uses the same check/plug-in model as Nagios, so you can copy/pasta Nagios stuff into the Icinga configs and use the same checks. The tactical overview for Icinga is a little nicer than the one published by Nagios. Both play well with PNP4Nagios to provide RRD based graphs. It's support for distributed functionality via DNX is more ready-to-go out of the box as compared to Nagios.
