"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"The Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"It is easy to navigate."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"There's a little bit of complexity to the initial install because you're dealing with operating systems. You have to make sure all the prerequisites are done, anti-virus exceptions, etc. Then there's the bringing it up and then there's discovery of the network and setting that up. It takes time."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"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."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
