"They can improve reporting and provide more customized reports. Currently, reporting is a bit limited. It can be complex to learn and manage for beginners.

They can provide a more graphical view of connectivity and other things. Their technical support can also be improved."

"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"I would like to be able to extend it to all of our data centers, whether they are in the cloud or not. It would be helpful if I could connect everywhere."
