"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."
"Key features include the GUI interface, its notification capabilities, and the real-time reporting."
"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."

"What I like about Nagios Core is that it helps me ensure everything is running smoothly by checking the status of hosts and services."
"Dashboard provides monitor of total assets."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."

"The initial setup process could be easier."
"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."

"I believe Nagios Core will need to provide an option for big data platforms in the future."
"Nagios Core does not have a graphic display."
