Several monitoring tools offer similar functionalities to Icinga, providing robust network and infrastructure monitoring capabilities. Here are some of the most popular alternatives:

1. Nagios Core:
   • Nagios Core is the open-source base of Nagios XI and is one of the most direct competitors to Icinga. In fact, Icinga began as a fork of Nagios. It offers comprehensive monitoring with extensive plugins and community support, but like Icinga, it requires more manual configuration.
2. Zabbix:
   • Zabbix is a highly scalable, open-source monitoring solution for networks and applications. It features built-in tools for monitoring network servers, virtual machines, and cloud services and provides both SNMP and IPMI agents.
3. Prometheus:
   • Prometheus is designed for recording real-time metrics in a time-series database. It is particularly well-suited for monitoring dynamic cloud environments. It uses a powerful query language called PromQL and integrates particularly well with Kubernetes.
4. Checkmk:
   • Checkmk offers a holistic monitoring solution that covers servers, applications, networks, and environments. It’s known for its automatic discovery features and scalability, and it provides both a raw, open-source edition and a more feature-rich enterprise edition.
5. PRTG Network Monitor:
   • PRTG provides comprehensive network monitoring with an easy-to-use interface. It supports a wide range of technologies and protocols to monitor IT infrastructure components such as servers, applications, and devices.
6. SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM):
   • SolarWinds NPM is known for its user-friendly interface and powerful monitoring capabilities. It provides extensive visualization tools, and automated network device discovery, and supports custom scripting.
