"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"It should provide the ability to remotely connect to mobile devices. There are some solutions that are doing that, but with Microsoft Intune, the only way to remotely connect to devices outside the organization and mobile devices is by using TeamViewer. It is pretty strange for a big company like Microsoft to not have something for that."
"The solution does not support remote devices so the CMG is still required."
"The tool's deployment can be cumbersome."
"The TSM component could be improved."
"The solution can be improved by speeding up the synchronizing of the policies on the devices."

"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"The way Nagios displays information isn't easy for a new user to understand. It's not intuitive enough. You need to read some tutorials or be trained to understand what it's displaying. Also, I think it needs more features to improve network visibility because there are some things you can't detect."
"Nagios XI can improve network and hardware monitoring, these parameters should be simplified to allow usage for monitoring. Additionally, if there was automatic reporting it would be helpful."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
