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."
"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."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"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."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"It is easy to implement."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"Nagios allows us to configure any device so that we can send pager alerts when people don't have access to emails. It also allows us to schedule downtime and maintenance."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"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."
"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."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"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."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
