You also get alerts if something is happening in the network. There are many features and benefits. It is serving our customers in knowing exactly how their network is performing in terms of reliability. It also helps them in planning the capacity. They know how much bandwidth the branches are consuming."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"Technical support is great."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"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."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."

"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."

"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."

"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"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."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."

"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 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."
