"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"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."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"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 interface could be more user-friendly."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"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."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
