"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The alerts are the most valuable feature."
"It is very easy to monitor multiple cloud environments. It's like a single pane of glass for us. We can use it to monitor our on-prem and both of our cloud environments as opposed to having different tools for each environment. It makes it all come together in one tool."
"The tool is efficient in collecting, monitoring and evaluating logs."

"The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it."

"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."

"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."

"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."
"It would be useful if they provided some help pages. If you don't know too much about the tool, there should be more documentation readily available. It would be useful if they had a help button embedded in the solution so you could ask questions and get answers."
"We still use Splunk Enterprise licensing. A lot of the newer features go into Splunk Cloud before Enterprise. We're not looking to switch our licensing over, so we're falling behind on the newer features."
"A lot of customers had a hard time effectively searching within the data in Splunk. There is a learning curve from searches to indexes and using all the macros that we have created. It is a little difficult for somebody who has not used it quite a bit and does not have a lot of practice with it, but the AI features that we have been hearing about through Splunk will make it a lot easier for us to use human language to search this data. That is big. That is pretty powerful, and that will help a lot with our customers."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring's data analytics can be improved by including suggestions for various types of continuous monitoring."
"I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface."

"Splunk would be better if some tools were integrated to be able to take action on security or network concerns."
