"E-mail alert notifications are valuable."
"Centreon helps me detect where the problem is quickly. When we resolve a problem quickly, this lowers our overall costs."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to build an abstraction of service visualization. You can add services to an entity called Business Activities and you can see the state of these activities."
"The single-pane view provides us a view of all of our network infrastructure, and it is one of the most important tools that we use to see the status of our customers' networks."
"Valuable features include the ability to schedule downtime, intensity or depth of monitoring which it does, different plugin packs, Centreon MAP, Centreon BI."
"The most important feature is that it permits us to receive alarms if there is an incident within the infrastructure. The feature I love the most is the reporting feature, the MBI (Monitoring Business Intelligence) which permits us to send advanced reports to our customers in PDF format or in Doc format. We also deploy Centreon Map which gives our customers intuitive views of their information system."
"I really like the filtering capabilities of it. You can easily tell what's critical next to what's okay, the state of the services. It's very easy to get the whole picture quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"The integration point."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."

"It is easy to navigate."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"To get it started is a lot of work, since it comes empty. We had to push information into it to make it work."
"The problem with the reporting is you have to configure the report, and after that, you will have the same report every month, every week, every day. You have to sync it in order to have a great report."
"This solution lacks service monitoring in the cloud."
"It is necessary to improve service monitoring of database services in the free version."
"I would like to see an improvement of the communication with big data systems, because Centreon is a monitoring system. In our point of view, Centreon should be a part of a source for a big data system, not a big data system itself. So, it should be easier to add data from the Centreon system to a big data system. For example, it should be able to teach machine learning."
"I would like to see a better UI, one which is more responsive."
"The reporting has room for improvement."
"The Home view could be improved by adding customization functions that allow users to change the size of the widgets for a more uniform layout."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"A better integration with the UIM, as far as being able to do root cause analysis and that type of analytics."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"The visual is a little archaic."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
