"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"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."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"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."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"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."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"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."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"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."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"I would like to be able to extend it to all of our data centers, whether they are in the cloud or not. It would be helpful if I could connect everywhere."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"Open-source software is usually not 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."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
