"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"Technical support is great."
"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 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 easy to implement."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"The most valuable features of Nagios XI are you can customize it based on your use case and requirements. It is flexible and easy to integrate with our systems. You can customize the solution by adding additional features using code."
"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."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"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."

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Stability."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."

"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"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."
