"It should be improved in the GUI, which should be made responsive, then it would be the best!"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Nagios XI?

Help to gain control over monitoring any element in the company's infrastructure, Nagios will be unmatched by other competitors. Before getting on board with the product, some work is necessary. Many threats can be avoided once you fully check and have a complete understanding of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nagios XI?

A product perhaps too complex for those who need it quickly. It will take beginners a lot of time to understand and get used to the structure and configurations of the application. The GUI interface becomes a bit slow at times if there are many users simultaneously on the network, despite being configured on NIC ports up to 10 Gigabits per second. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Nagios XI:

I recommend dividing the Nagios environments so as not to load a single Nagios Core or Nagios XI with the functionalities of network monitoring, user control panel, and security management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nagios XI solving and how is that benefiting you?

Detect and resolve almost autonomously the majority of complex industry problems with minimal and quick initial setup. It is very fast, precise, high network performance and identifies system issues firsthand, providing the exact waiting time for a failure and reducing downtime.

"Performant but not very scalable and difficult to configure in environments already in production phase"

2/5

What do you like best about Nagios XI?

Nagios is a tool we have used to monitor and track our systems worldwide. We have several cases, but we mainly focus on corporate and Chinese configurations. This has been a great tool that alerted us in advance to prevent many disruptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nagios XI?

It seems that there is a way to run. Installable somehow, despite everything never having been possible, even in exchange for great help. Unless the XL is used. Installable from every day ago, in some cases it can be a problem, as it has been more or less planned, pleaded to be considered. In this regard, it has been said that the ideas were thought based on what happened somehow to do it. Bought in response are important. It is not true, however, that it has always and forever originated. Leave a bit in front of everyone. Installable everything that is happening is almost always present in the CLI and can be executed in some ways. This can change from time to time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Nagios XI:

Having said this, in an absolutely convincing way, almost everything that is necessary must be put into practice. It is possible that they occur on many occasions because they were created by many other things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nagios XI solving and how is that benefiting you?

Overall, we are satisfied with the distribution. The problem we encountered was losing our developer halfway through. Once we got a stable developer, the implementation went smoothly. There are several areas/tools included that are very complicated to set up! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nagios: self-hosted monitoring tool"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Nagios XI?

In our organization, we have used Nagios for a long period of time. Nagios provides monitoring of all mission-critical infrastructure components including applications, services, operating systems, network protocols, systems metrics, and network infrastructure. The application's user interface (UI) is quite simple and easy to use. Nagios is open-sourced, so it is freely available. Nagios is perfect for companies that don't have a budget for IT monitoring but still expect systems to be up 24x7. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nagios XI?

It's very easy to get too many notifications from Nagios. This isn't really a problem due to Nagios itself, because with enough configuration you can stop it from doing this. But too many notifications very quickly lead to Nagios exhaustion in your team, which leads to people ignoring Nagios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Nagios XI:

Nagios is well suited for smaller environments or if there is no budget to buy expensive monitoring applications. It is not suitable for large-scale deployments as a lot of functions are quite manual and time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nagios XI solving and how is that benefiting you?

We set up Nagios for the first time on my application, its monitoring configuration is quite manual. Once you get hands-on with the Nagios tool, it's not as complicated as it first seems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
