"Best Performance tool for network monitoring"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Nagios XI?

Nagios XI can integrate unlimited hosts into one single dashboard and no any restrictions for adding network or server devices. Devices can be easily configured with the Nagios XI and all the devices can be monitored in one single dashboard. This solution has a comprehensive report generating feature and the recent status of the network devices can be generated into reports. Another benefit of this solution is we can set threshold limits of the network devices and continuously monitor the devices. When somehow if the threshold limits are exceeded, users can set alerts for monitoring the devices. In Nagios, if a user wants to experience the Nagios solution, they can log in as a demo user on the Nagios website and it will give the feature to use the product before purchase.

What do you dislike about Nagios XI?

Cost is the only drawback of this solution; the price is extremely high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Totally scalable and extendable monitoring tool with APIs, it costs a lot but is worth a lot!"
4/5
What do you like best about Nagios XI?

The right solution for infrastructure monitoring, whether it is in the cloud or on-premises. This is the tool of the Linux platform but it is compatible with most Windows and other types of operating systems. The main feature of this tool is that you can monitor and inventory our infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nagios XI?

Nagios Core is free and XI must be purchased from Nagios Enterprise, but technical support remains limited to the online community. Paid plugins are available, but like the free/open-source ones, installation is anything but easy and complicated to execute without a readme or tutorial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
