"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"You want to monitor a specific metric that nobody else has? You can do it even with the most basic of scripting skills, and you can always share it with the vast community of Nagios Exchange."
"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."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"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."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"We often need to develop custom plugins to get Nagios to work the way we want it to work because the features we need are not always available in Nagios."
"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 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 technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"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 product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
