Why Teams Choose Bleemeo Over Centreon

Complex Configuration

Centreon requires extensive setup with hosts, services, templates, and inheritance hierarchies that are difficult to manage.

Enterprise features require expensive licenses, and costs scale unpredictably with your infrastructure.

Self-Hosted Burden

Managing Centreon infrastructure, databases, updates, and backups consumes significant resources.

Steep Learning Curve

Training new team members on Centreon takes weeks, and complex workflows slow down troubleshooting.
