"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."

"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
