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."
"It is easy to implement."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"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."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"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 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 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."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"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."
"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."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"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."
"Nagios XI can improve network and hardware monitoring, these parameters should be simplified to allow usage for monitoring. Additionally, if there was automatic reporting it would be helpful."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
