"Our customers like that Nagios Core is an open source solution. It can be customized to our customers' specific needs."
"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."
"What I like about Nagios Core is that it helps me ensure everything is running smoothly by checking the status of hosts and services."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is the ability to check the availability of the server for network connectivity. Additionally, the interface is good."
"The notifications are definitely one of the most valuable features of Nagios Core. We know what to look for and what to expect when things are down."

"We use the product to monitor server applications."
"The solution is quite efficient."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Improvements in network performance are essential."
"You can't delete more than one thing at a time. It would be great to be able to highlight three out of five things and delete them, whether it's a test or an actual report."
"Ixia has one flaw, which is that they do not print the license code on the paper licenses that are shipped to the customers."
"The customization of tests and even the results can be improved."
"It is a bit slow due to latency."
"Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI."
"It would be nice if the company offered a sales or contract manager that was dedicated to our company so that we would have some sort of link to Nagios, and if we had issues or questions, we'd be able to contact them directly."
"We're using the free version, which limits us in terms of the things that we can do. If we had the paid version, a lot of our issues would probably go away. For example, we can't isolate instances that are being built or updated with the production ones. When they're being built, on Nagios, they're showing in red. It'd be nice to be able to partition those off until they're all green, and then we can bring them into the environment. This is probably because we've got the free version and not the paid version. If we went for the paid version, it would probably allow us to do exactly what we want to or remove the restrictions that we have, but if we are able to isolate instances in the free version, it would make life much easier."
"I would like to see more training videos."
"I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."
"Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available."
"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."
