"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."

"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to be able to extend it to all of our data centers, whether they are in the cloud or not. It would be helpful if I could connect everywhere."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
