"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"The most valuable features of Nagios XI are you can customize it based on your use case and requirements. It is flexible and easy to integrate with our systems. You can customize the solution by adding additional features using code."

"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"Aside from ease of use, scalability is one of the key points of this solution."
"Before implementing Prism, we had an issue with too many alerts for similar issues, so it was difficult to maintain them. The alerts kept coming, and we had a hard time keeping track of everything. We had multiple alerts about CPU, RAM, and storage. Prism helps us identify and eliminate false alerts because most of them were redundant."
"Nutanix has one of the greatest support organizations that I've ever had to use. They're polite, you get someone on the phone fast, and they always find a solution for you."
"Since we began using Nutanix the performance for virtual desktops is much better."
"The GUI and the dashboard are impressive. I like that you can modify the GUI and the dashboard as per your requirements."
"Nutanix Prism is very simple to use compared to other products. I have tried a number of tools, including VMware ESXi. Nutanix Prism is much simpler to use and we feel data transfers in it are very fast."
"Nutanix Prism offers web scaling, which facilitates easy scaling."
"The pricing is very good if you compare it to other competitors."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."
"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."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"I would like to see the capability to use FC SAN storage."
"I wish the main landing page, the dashboard, could be organized in a way where, when there is an alert because something is wrong, I would not have to click three or four times to get to what actually happened. I wish it were quicker to get to the bottom of the problem."
"It doesn't integrate very well with any backup solution."
"There are no firewall policies."
"The VM backup could be better, and its licensing could be better. We have had some licensing issues with Nutanix Files. The default license should be 1 TB or more. Currently, for Nutanix Files sharing, we can only use 500 Gigabytes."
"I would like to see the integration of native, one-click "open support ticket" functionality for errors generated by the system within Prism. Currently, we have to manually open a support ticket in a separate web browser and manually input the error information."
"There is a bug with the HTML5 interface."
"Does not yet have micro application using a company's provider."
