"I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."
"You want to monitor a specific metric that nobody else has? You can do it even with the most basic of scripting skills, and you can always share it with the vast community of Nagios Exchange."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."

"Nagios XI is stable."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."

"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."
"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"The licensing model is confusing."

"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"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 be able to extend it to all of our data centers, whether they are in the cloud or not. It would be helpful if I could connect everywhere."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"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 a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"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."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
