"You want to monitor a specific metric that nobody else has? You can do it even with the most basic of scripting skills, and you can always share it with the vast community of Nagios Exchange."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"It is a very valuable tool. It goes out and does a discovery, which is a great process of it. You could have something like a rogue DHCP server, and it will identify it, and then you can see to which switch port it is connected. It is quite an impressive tool. I really liked it because you didn't have to install an agent on anything. It would just go out and do its discovery. For me, that's great."
"Gives us the ability to see our network."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"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."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to be able to extend it to all of our data centers, whether they are in the cloud or not. It would be helpful if I could connect everywhere."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"Its price can be improved. Their support can also be improved a little bit. In terms of features, it did everything I wanted it to do. With more features, I would have to start installing network agents or something else, and I don't want to have to install anything. This was the value for me about this device."
"I would like a built-in tap feature which doesn't interfere with the network, and it allows you to see what is happening there."
