"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"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."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"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."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"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 interface could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"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."
"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."
