"Technical support is great."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"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."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"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 Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"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."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"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."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
