"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"It is very scalable."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"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."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"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."
"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 biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"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."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"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."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"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."
