More Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) Cons →
"The PNP4Nagios plugin not working easily with XI is an issue for me, because some open source monitoring plugins do not work out of the box. But in the end, you learn to live with it."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"The way Nagios displays information isn't easy for a new user to understand. It's not intuitive enough. You need to read some tutorials or be trained to understand what it's displaying. Also, I think it needs more features to improve network visibility because there are some things you can't detect."
