"Nagios XI helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability. We have multiple servers to monitor databases, availability of servers, and ping."
"Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."

"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."

"It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."

"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"The product's stability could be even better."

"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
