"Nagios Core does not have a graphic display.""It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through.""Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI.""Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does.""The mapping is a little hard.""The tool needs to improve the integrations.""Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available.""Making it a little easier to configure and set up from the start would help. There are multiple layers that you have to wade through to be able to set it up, to do it the right way, and to get it to do what you want it to do."
