Pros:

Nagios XI is the only NMS being used in our infrastructure for monitoring LAN, WLAN, WAN, Virtual infrastructure and physical servers. it supports almost all endpoint types and monitoring protocols. it has built in templates for popular endpoints which makes it very easy to add them.

Cons:

the reporting feature has limited templates and they cannot be edited. you can create new templates but they also have limitations. some reports cannot be run on groups of devices while others show very little information.

Reasons for choosing Nagios XI

because of the cost difference at the time of procurement. Nagios XI was relatively cheaper.

Nagio XI makes Nagios SO much better

The best benefit is the ability to create a monitor in a GUI rather than a command line.

Pros:

I really like the graphical user interface overlay on top of Nagios Core, it makes it so much easier to create monitors.

Cons:

The only complaint I have with Nagios XI is not with the software but instead with the way that people do not take ownership for the monitors that they create. The software works great when done right.

"Easy And Essential Tool For Monitoring Purpose. Easily Linked To Other Ticketing Tools"

Essential tool for monitoring purpose. All the required details for any particular alert is visible on the main screen itself. Not required to go into every alert and check for its complete details. sily linked to other ticketing tools to be tracked. Cost effective tool for monitoring purpose. Easily understandable

Pros:

we used nagios in some analysis tests of monitoring managers, we really liked its adaptability to monitoring of various cellular telecommunications networks. The management of statistics was very simple.

Cons:

The only problem we encountered was licensing costs and support within Venezuela, specifically placing it below its competitors, but I believe that in a country without restrictions it can be an option.
