"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution."
"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager as a tool to monitor Oracle products."
"It is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for managing database consolidation, something that has been missing and difficult to do."
"Some of the most valuable features are its real-time performance view/dashboard, metric history, real-time monitoring and alerts, as well as quick access to Oracle's tuning and diagnostic options."
"It can also help with capacity planning, sizing, and maximizing overall performance in a large scale environment."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool."
"The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"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."
"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."
"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."

"In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"They should improve the hover text context. This would provide assistance whenever a task is attempted by a DBA."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"In my experience, the monitoring could be improved."
