"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."

"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"We often need to develop custom plugins to get Nagios to work the way we want it to work because the features we need are not always available in Nagios."
