Our verdict on Centreon
Centreon is an IT monitoring platform for organizations, enterprises, and managed service providers. It covers cloud, on-premises, network, server, storage, database, application, and legacy environments through agent-based or agentless monitoring. Its web, self-hosted, and API access options support hybrid environments, while dashboards, alerting, event management, maps, service mapping, and business activity monitoring address day-to-day infrastructure visibility.
Pricing spans a free self-hosted IT 100 Freemium plan, which supports up to 100 hosts with no time limit and has the same features as the IT Edition. According to the vendor's pricing page, IT Edition self-hosted pricing starts at €2.27 per host per month when billed annually, while IT Edition SaaS starts at €3.40 per host per month. Pro Edition SaaS is listed at €4.50 per host per month, and Business and MSP self-hosted editions are listed at €4.53 per host per month. Experience Monitoring Pro and Business are listed at €490 and €790 per month, respectively, billed annually. Paid tiers add capabilities such as SLA monitoring, business impact monitoring, geographical views, distributed monitoring, pay-as-you-grow billing, real-user monitoring, and web-performance analysis.
The platform's strongest fit is breadth: 700+ monitoring connectors, REST and command-line APIs, automatic discovery, graphical and geographical maps, service mapping, synthetic user-journey monitoring, and stream connectors for tools including PagerDuty, ServiceNow, Splunk, Datadog, and Kafka. The main trade-off is edition complexity, with capabilities and deployment choices distributed across self-hosted and SaaS plans. Choose Centreon when connector coverage, hybrid deployment, and low-cost entry matter; consider an alternative if a simple SaaS-only product is the priority.
