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."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"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."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"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 most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios XI is customization. We can customize based on our requirements. We can do modifications and implement a lot of scripts. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"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 most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"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."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"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."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"Stability."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"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."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The way Nagios displays information isn't easy for a new user to understand. It's not intuitive enough. You need to read some tutorials or be trained to understand what it's displaying. Also, I think it needs more features to improve network visibility because there are some things you can't detect."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"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 PNP4Nagios plugin not working easily with XI is an issue for me, because some open source monitoring plugins do not work out of the box. But in the end, you learn to live with it."
