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."
"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"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."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"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."
"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"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."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"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."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"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."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"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."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The product's stability could be even better."
