"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive.

However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great."
"We have been facing an issue since last year when a lot of our users started to work from home through their mobiles or computers. We are having trouble reaching these devices. We are now planning to publish our instance to the cloud so that we can reach these devices. Its performance should be improved in terms of the discovery of the devices. I would like to feel confident with the discovery that this solution does. For example, on my dashboard, I would like to be able to view a list of all devices seen on a specific server. At present, it is difficult to find such information. This would be an excellent feature to have."
"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."

"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"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."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
