"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."

"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
