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's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"One of the things that I like about DX Infrastructure is that the topology is good enough to see what is happening in the infrastructure. You also get alerts if something is happening in the network. There are many features and benefits. It is serving our customers in knowing exactly how their network is performing in terms of reliability. It also helps them in planning the capacity. They know how much bandwidth the branches are consuming."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"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."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"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."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"We often need to develop custom plugins to get Nagios to work the way we want it to work because the features we need are not always available in Nagios."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"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."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
