"The product is useful for patch management."
"It is a good choice for deployment that performs very well."
"Microsoft Configuration Manager gives different tools in one solution."

"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"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 most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"In terms of scalability, I believe there's room for improvement. While SCCM is capable of handling our current needs effectively, scalability could be enhanced to accommodate future growth and larger deployments."
"The assets have reached their end-of-life, and patching them is a complex and laborious task. It would be highly advantageous if there were an integrated solution that provided distinct options for each end-of-life asset, streamlining the process and facilitating comprehension."
"In spite of us being a premier customer we find the support unsatisfactory."
"Not everything is readily available, and there are a lot of commands that are only executable via PowerShell."
"The time the solution takes for updating systems could be quicker. For example, the system information status is not updating as it should. Additionally, the database synchronization querying is slow and could be improved."
"This solution should be simpler, and more consistent across modules/sections."
"This solution needs to be supported on all Operating systems."
"The solution could improve the functionality for automating, license management. Additionally, more and better-looking reports are needed."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"The PNP4Nagios plugin not working easily with XI is an issue for me, because some open source monitoring plugins do not work out of the box. But in the end, you learn to live with it."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"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 interface could be more user-friendly."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
