"Nagios Core is stable."
"The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner."
"Other products are good but from the configuration point of view Nagios is really very lightweight. The price is really good in my opinion. Another important thing is that my Nagios engine still works with Dual core 8GB ram for the last 10 years."
"What I like about Nagios Core is that it helps me ensure everything is running smoothly by checking the status of hosts and services."
"The notifications are definitely one of the most valuable features of Nagios Core. We know what to look for and what to expect when things are down."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."
"SolarWinds has improved our organization because whenever a device is down, we get an alert."

"The dashboard alerts me when a critical device goes off the network."
"For stability, I would give SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer a rating of ten out of ten."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its traffic analysis."
"What I like about SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is that it's useful for analyzing traffic. It also has an application visibility feature that lets you control applications."
"The software management tools are very useful for our customers."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"Nagios Core can improve the graphical interface, it would make things a little easier."
"The tool needs to improve the integrations."
"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."
"The core version is no match for the XI version."
"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."
"Making it a little easier to configure and set up from the start would help. There are multiple layers that you have to wade through to be able to set it up, to do it the right way, and to get it to do what you want it to do."
"Customer Support is quite complex."
"The Atlas module that is used for building the network map is very bad."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the traffic generated by the analyzer and the analysis of that traffic."
"They should work on the configuration of the Log Analyzer feature."
"It does not flow. It cannot do our metric performance monitoring. So it is very limited. They can do it but in a very limited fashion. It is only good for SNMP-based alerts."
"One area that we struggle with is the price. Because the price of this solution is so high, we are largely unable to introduce it into the local market, and only the banking sector has the means to afford it."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"SolarWinds' technical support is ok, but it could be faster and more knowledgeable."
