"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"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."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"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."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"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."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
