It would be good to be able to do the firmware updates from one place and at the same time.

It will be helpful for implementing the product and gaining knowledge for management purposes."

"It would be beneficial for Nagios to incorporate a tool that goes beyond log management and includes features to monitor overall system health and assess the effectiveness of antivirus solutions."
"The customization and dashboards have shortcomings and need to be improved to make the tool look more presentable."
