"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"Nagios allows us to configure any device so that we can send pager alerts when people don't have access to emails. It also allows us to schedule downtime and maintenance."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"The most effective feature of WildFire for threat analysis is its collaboration with other security profiles on our Palo Alto firewall."
"The cloud-based services are a nice feature."
"I love the idea of Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It's more geared toward preventing malware. If someone's laptop or phone is malware-infected, the tool prevents it from uploading valuable corporate data outside the corporate network. That's what I love about Palo Alto Networks WildFire. It stops malware in its tracks."
"WildFire's application encryption is useful."
"The solution has plenty of features."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we never faced any issues."
"The most valuable feature is the Automatic Verdict, to recognize whether something is a threat, or not."
"The solution is easy to use and the Panorama feature is good. The software management or the malware blocking and some authentication management system are good."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"Nagios XI can improve network and hardware monitoring, these parameters should be simplified to allow usage for monitoring. Additionally, if there was automatic reporting it would be helpful."
"The VPN and decryption need improvement."
"The automation and responsiveness need improvement."
"The cost of this solution could still be improved, in particular, giving product discounts for charitable causes."
"I don't think it needs to improve anything, except maybe the speed to deploy the changes."
"I would like to see them continue on their developmental roadmap for the product."
"The product's false positive logs could be more user-friendly to understand. They could provide examples of precious cases to learn."
"The GUI is better in 8.0, but I still feel it lacks the fast response most of us desire. Logs are much quicker."
"The system performance degrades after the solution has been deployed for some time. The data that it gives us becomes a little bit slow. When you try to get some data for troubleshooting, it seems like it's working hard to extract that data."
