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."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"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."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"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."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"It is easy to implement."
"Technical support is great."
"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."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"The most valuable features of Nagios XI are you can customize it based on your use case and requirements. It is flexible and easy to integrate with our systems. You can customize the solution by adding additional features using code."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"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."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"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."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"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."
