"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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 dashboards need to be improved."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."

"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"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."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"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."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
