"It is very scalable."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"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 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."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"It is easy to implement."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"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 installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"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."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"Stability."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
