We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and Nagios XI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"One of the things that I like about DX Infrastructure is that the topology is good enough to see what is happening in the infrastructure. You also get alerts if something is happening in the network. There are many features and benefits. It is serving our customers in knowing exactly how their network is performing in terms of reliability. It also helps them in planning the capacity. They know how much bandwidth the branches are consuming."
"What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product. The feature I found most valuable in the solution is the MCS feature, which is the automatic deployment of the objects you want to monitor. You can set up a system, for example, if it's a Windows machine and I want to test specific devices on it, I could do that through DX Unified Infrastructure Management. That type of deployment is very good because it means you won't miss any monitoring aspect on any server."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"You want to monitor a specific metric that nobody else has? You can do it even with the most basic of scripting skills, and you can always share it with the vast community of Nagios Exchange."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"I would like to be able to extend it to all of our data centers, whether they are in the cloud or not. It would be helpful if I could connect everywhere."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
