Optimizing user experience through comprehensive monitoring and real-time analytics
Citrix uberAgent Monitoring helps us optimize the end-user experience. It identifies slow applications, system bottlenecks, and offers network and latency analytics to detect network congestion and connection issues. It enhances the security of Citrix environments by providing valuable security insights. It integrates well with Splunk and Elastic Stack to provide real-time analytics. Additionally, it is useful for tracking Citrix log-ons and determining where delays are happening.

Simplifies setup and requires user interface enhancement
Nagios XI is easy to install, which sets it apart from other open-source solutions I've tried. Typically, setting up a monitoring system on Linux involves cloning files from GitHub, building it, and installing many dependencies, but with Nagios XI, it wasn't like that. Nagios XI simplifies our setup and reduces the time spent configuring monitoring tools.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Citrix uberAgent Monitoring helps us optimize the end-user experience."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"We love Nagios XI due to the fact that JPS Web is very useful."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."
"Nagios XI is stable."
 

Cons

"Citrix uberAgent Monitoring currently does not have its own database and requires dependency on products like Splunk or Elastic Stack for visualization."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"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."
"The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"The PNP4Nagios plugin not working easily with XI is an issue for me, because some open source monitoring plugins do not work out of the box. But in the end, you learn to live with it."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
