"The solution is quite efficient."
"Key features include the GUI interface, its notification capabilities, and the real-time reporting."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"Other products are good but from the configuration point of view Nagios is really very lightweight. The price is really good in my opinion. Another important thing is that my Nagios engine still works with Dual core 8GB ram for the last 10 years."
"The notifications are definitely one of the most valuable features of Nagios Core. We know what to look for and what to expect when things are down."

"The installation process is not hard at all."
"The company provides excellent service."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward...In terms of ROI, the solution is worth the money."

"The authentication overall - including to the VPN and LAN - is excellent."
"The most valuable features are integration and ease of use."
"ThousandEyes gives companies better visibility."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."
"We're using the free version, which limits us in terms of the things that we can do. If we had the paid version, a lot of our issues would probably go away. For example, we can't isolate instances that are being built or updated with the production ones. When they're being built, on Nagios, they're showing in red. It'd be nice to be able to partition those off until they're all green, and then we can bring them into the environment. This is probably because we've got the free version and not the paid version. If we went for the paid version, it would probably allow us to do exactly what we want to or remove the restrictions that we have, but if we are able to isolate instances in the free version, it would make life much easier."
"The core version is no match for the XI version."
"Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does."
"It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through."
"It would be nice if the company offered a sales or contract manager that was dedicated to our company so that we would have some sort of link to Nagios, and if we had issues or questions, we'd be able to contact them directly."
"The mapping is a little hard."
"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."
"Presently, it lacks the ability to integrate with other Cisco products."
"Once I fully use the tool 100%, I'm sure I would have something to critique, however, for now, I'm happy with it."
"It might be practical to extend monitoring capabilities to include network devices"
"There is room for improvement in terms of customization and user-friendliness."
"It's an expensive solution."
"It would be nice if the solution covered other areas like server monitoring."
"The guest portal is hard to use."
"ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features."
