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."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."
"Technical support is great."
"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"Nagios allows us to configure any device so that we can send pager alerts when people don't have access to emails. It also allows us to schedule downtime and maintenance."
"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."
"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."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."
"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."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"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."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
