"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"The ability to view all of these different logs, then drilling down into specific times or into specific data sources, has proved to be the greatest aspect in decreasing our troubleshooting overhead time."
"It helps us uncover bottlenecks in the network."
"The Splunk queries are valuable."

"Easy to deploy and simple to use."
"There are a lot of third-party applications that can be installed."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"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."
"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."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."

"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"The algorithms customization of Splunk could improve. They have limited algorithms for machine learning support. If they can allow the user to add more machine learning algorithms, such as the ability to choose the algorithm that a user might want. Additionally, they should provide the required libraries for those algorithms, and then analyzes the data for use."
"Adding custom visualization in Splunk has been improved over the years but can still be made better by integrating more and more JavaScript visualization sources."
"Splunk Enterprise Security has not helped reduce our alert volume."
"It's costly."
"When we do a rollout from the server or host or anything, we'd like to see more automation. It would save us time."
"We do have to educate developers on how to not blow it up. It is a little to easy to write an expensive query and overly stress the system. This could be improved."
"Their technical support sucks."
"The prices are complicated as we operate in a small third-world country."
