"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."
"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"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."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios XI is customization. We can customize based on our requirements. We can do modifications and implement a lot of scripts. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"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 UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"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."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
