"The visual is a little archaic."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"If they could interact with the MIBs of vendors better, and have a lot more pre-loaded ones, that would be amazing for us right now."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."

"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"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."
"We often need to develop custom plugins to get Nagios to work the way we want it to work because the features we need are not always available in Nagios."
