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's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"DX UIM is scalable."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"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."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"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."
"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."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"Nagios XI helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability. We have multiple servers to monitor databases, availability of servers, and ping."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"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."
"Stability."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"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."
"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 interface could be more user-friendly."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"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."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
