"It is easy to implement."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios XI is customization. We can customize based on our requirements. We can do modifications and implement a lot of scripts. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"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 installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"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."
"Stability."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"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 product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"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 way Nagios displays information isn't easy for a new user to understand. It's not intuitive enough. You need to read some tutorials or be trained to understand what it's displaying. Also, I think it needs more features to improve network visibility because there are some things you can't detect."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
