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 definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."
"Technical support is great."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"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."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"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 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."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"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."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"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."
"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."
"The product's stability could be even better."
