"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."
"We use the product to monitor server applications."
"I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them."
"The notifications are definitely one of the most valuable features of Nagios Core. We know what to look for and what to expect when things are down."
"Dashboard provides monitor of total assets."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is it allows us to develop and add as many plugins as we want."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was the ability to see how the connection quality is between the sites and get an alert if it was turning bad."
"The most valuable features are integration and ease of use."
"The authentication overall - including to the VPN and LAN - is excellent."

"From our perspective, ThousandEyes stands out as an invaluable tool because of its deep and extensive capabilities."

"It would be nice if the company offered a sales or contract manager that was dedicated to our company so that we would have some sort of link to Nagios, and if we had issues or questions, we'd be able to contact them directly."
"I believe Nagios Core will need to provide an option for big data platforms in the future."
"Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available."
"The core version is no match for the XI version."
"I would like to see more training videos."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"We're using the free version, which limits us in terms of the things that we can do. If we had the paid version, a lot of our issues would probably go away. For example, we can't isolate instances that are being built or updated with the production ones. When they're being built, on Nagios, they're showing in red. It'd be nice to be able to partition those off until they're all green, and then we can bring them into the environment. This is probably because we've got the free version and not the paid version. If we went for the paid version, it would probably allow us to do exactly what we want to or remove the restrictions that we have, but if we are able to isolate instances in the free version, it would make life much easier."
"Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI."
"It would be nice if the solution covered other areas like server monitoring."
"I would like the product to offer more agility."
"Once I fully use the tool 100%, I'm sure I would have something to critique, however, for now, I'm happy with it."
"ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features."
"The guest portal is hard to use."
"They only offer synthetic requests."
"There is room for improvement in terms of customization and user-friendliness."
"It's an expensive solution."
