"The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner."
"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."
"It has made the life of the network operations staff more proactive in managing the resources of the infrastructure. It prevents disasters long before they can take place."
"I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring."
"Our customers like that Nagios Core is an open source solution. It can be customized to our customers' specific needs."
"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."
"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."
"The logs on the solution are excellent."
"From the class that I took this week, being able to create notable events from whatever you find in the data set is pretty useful."
"To get visibility from your network devices, servers, and security devices is a great feature."
"It can log more logs than other solutions. It's a good way to troubleshoot problems."
"Aggregation searches have reduced time and difficulty of identifying trends and conditions which need to reviewed."
"It is quite extensible. It is a platform that we can build our use instead of each case instead of each case being limited or restricted to each capability. This is probably the best feature."
"It is easy to use in any environment."
"It allows for transparency into IT metrics for insightful business analytics."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"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."
"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."
"The scalability needs improvement, it's not scalable at this time."
"It is a bit slow due to latency."
"It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through."
"The user access control could be much more granular, so that the admins can control r/w/x access for specific features of the product like dashboards, etc."
"Splunk could have more built-in use case presets that customers can build on and customize."
"On the technical side, it would be nice to see aspects of the recent acquisition of Phantom make it into the core Splunk Enterprise, not just become a part of the premium Enterprise Security."
"Splunk's ability to analyze malicious activities scores an 8 out of 10, but there's room for improvement. By analyzing emerging patterns, Splunk could identify and predict potential threats more effectively."
"I would like Splunk to add more integration. QRadar has many indications with more products than Splunk."
"The training was mostly sales-focused, like how to monitor your sales. It was hard to then come back from doing the training and try to switch it to a cybersecurity focus because all the training we did was sales oriented. The basic training didn't really touch on any kind of cybersecurity use cases or anything like that. That would have been great to see in the training."
"Professional support is great, but too expensive."
"While scheduled reports can be embedded, Splunk dashboard can not be embedded directly without enabling cross origin."
