"Nagios Core is stable."
"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."

"The solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes."

"It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through."
"The scalability needs improvement, it's not scalable at this time."
"Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available."
"The core version is no match for the XI version."
