Uh... Nagios does pretty much all of the features of Cacti... all of the above use RRD Tool...

Nagios > Cacti > MRTG > etc.
(read as blah greater than blah... etc)

With that said, we switched away from Nagios to just using Cacti... it all depends on WHAT your needs are. IMHO, if Nagios is interesting you probably want to look at ZenOSS as well. For graphs, we found Cacti to be better for monitoring things. Has a good community. Ideally, I'd like to write my own though...
