"DX UIM is scalable."
"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's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"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."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"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."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"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."
