"Provides timely notifications."
"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."
"The most valuable feature depends on the project. It's great if you need to check to ensure a service is running 24/7. I can use the full solution for free, and it's flexible. If I need to add a dashboard, I can integrate it with Nagios. Cloud synchronization is wonderful."
"Our customers like that Nagios Core is an open source solution. It can be customized to our customers' specific needs."
"I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"The solution is scalable. If you want to monitor more you have to buy more licenses, but you can add on. We don't plan to increase usage."
"SCOM's most valuable features are the network path feature, reporting, and integration with business intelligence."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"It's easy to use."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."

"I would like to see more training videos."
"The core version is no match for the XI version."

"The scalability needs improvement, it's not scalable at this time."
"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."
"Nagios Core does not have a graphic display."
"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"There are some negative points about this product. Sometimes, the capabilities of the software don't appear, and you can't directly see the results. You have to wait for a long period to refresh the policy to push it to the software or other patches."
"Direct integration with third-party tools, like ticketing systems, is lacking but would be beneficial."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
"The interface is a little bit cumbersome and certain actions could be simplified."
"I would like more customized reports. People should have some customization option on the dashboards for whenever they put multiple lists into it. Beyond customizing the content, there should be the ability to customize the colors so that they can engage some priority and mark challenges separately."
"The initial setup should be easier to complete."
"Stability and some performance issues exist and they need improvement."
"Regarding certain issues in the solution, it can be difficult to generate reports if we have a program that is not user-friendly for reporting. While this is not necessarily negative, we may need to use another solution."
