PNP4Nagios works pretty well. The only thing that I didn't like is that it was a steep (very steep) learning curve for that interface vs. Cacti. I didn't really want to go through and re-create all of my graph templates again so I stuck with Cacti.
NINJA is "ok", but I found it to be a bit irritation when dealing with moving from existing configurations to NINJA. If you are starting out a new Nagios installation then NINJA is probably ok for your needs. I used NagVis for a short period of time. My irritations with it always seem to be the support staff. They want some kind of map that is kept up to date with all the network gear. That request is just about impossible to do the right way without some custom code for a specific network layout. -- Adam Kennedy Network Engineer Omnicity, Inc.

If it's for monitoring servers (disk/cpu usage and such) Dude is a joke. If it's for an easy GUI to position things relative to one another, Nagios is going to be difficult.

I'm considering a switch from Nagios to The Dude myself, but I'd like to hear pros & cons of either. What did you switch from/to, and why? Thanks !
