"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"The most valuable features of Nagios XI are you can customize it based on your use case and requirements. It is flexible and easy to integrate with our systems. You can customize the solution by adding additional features using code."
"Nagios allows us to configure any device so that we can send pager alerts when people don't have access to emails. It also allows us to schedule downtime and maintenance."

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"Stability."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"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."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
