"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"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."
"Stability."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"The dashboards need to be improved."

"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"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."
"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 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."
"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 interface could be more user-friendly."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
