"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI 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."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"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."
