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."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"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."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"It is easy to implement."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"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."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"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."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"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 company has not kept pace with developments."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"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."
