"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"It is very scalable."
"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 is easy to implement but requires good planning."

"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."

"The solution is pretty stable."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"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 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."
"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."

"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."

"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"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."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"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."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"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."
