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."
"MultiWAN and Balance 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 provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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 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."
"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 other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"Open-source software is usually not 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."
