"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."
"Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek is the ability to assign custom color codes to the different packets easily."
"The most valuable features are the voice bot, which checks the quality of service for voice, and the expert view that gives me insight on what and where to troubleshoot."

"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"The solution's automation has room for improvement."
"I am not using OmniPeek for automation, we only do manual testing. Automation testing is tedious to do. The automation should be more user-friendly. I have exposed some APIs but the usage is not user-friendly."
"I don't see a clear roadmap in the future for improving this software."
"Making it more clear on how to configure the filters, or really automating them, would be an improvement."
