"The main thing is obviously notifications about alerts, getting ahead of the curve to make sure that we do not have system going down, or if it is down we get to know it earlier."
"The fault management is perfect."
"Scalability is a highly rated feature of this solution. It is better than some of the other tools that I've used in terms of scalability. We scaled it to tens of thousands of devices."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"Nagios allows us to configure any device so that we can send pager alerts when people don't have access to emails. It also allows us to schedule downtime and maintenance."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"If they could interact with the MIBs of vendors better, and have a lot more pre-loaded ones, that would be amazing for us right now."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"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 product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
