We have a nice feature comparison here: https://assets.nagios.com/handouts/nagi ... arison.pdf

But basically, XI runs on top of Core and provides a ice configuration and reporting interface, so you don't have to edit config files by hand on the command line.

No. Centreon is a separate product. Both Core and XI do graphing natively.

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but we have a Network Analyzer product as well: https://www.nagios.com/products/nagios- ... -analyzer/
