"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"It is very scalable."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"Nagios XI helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability. We have multiple servers to monitor databases, availability of servers, and ping."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"Stability."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"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 installation and monitoring need improvement."
"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."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
