"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."

"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"Nagios XI can improve network and hardware monitoring, these parameters should be simplified to allow usage for monitoring. Additionally, if there was automatic reporting it would be helpful."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
