Being a long time nagios and netsaint user and contributor to the community, I have to say your comments are 100% dead on.
The configuration of nagios is confusing even for a seasoned user, the security models are non-existant and adding even simple graphing and historical data to nagios requires another entire level of ridiculous configurations.
Nagios was a fantastic tool, in 2001. However, it is basicly the exact same tool today that it was in 2001 and there are far better tools available now that do the same thing, but they're easier to configure, manage and use.
It doesn't matter what kind of hardware they want to sell for a retarded amount of money.
I have a series one tivo sitting in my garage gathering dust. It's got a pair of 100gig drives in it, ethernet card, extra fan attached, all that... Tivo still wants 12.95 a month for the service.
My comcast DVR costs me $3.95/month on a lease deal, it records high def, and I didn't spend a dime to get it. Without some kind of radical change in their pricing and features, Tivo can't stay in the market.

I'd be paying the 65 bucks a month to comcast regardless of using a Tivo or using their set top box.
