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."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"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 very scalable."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"Nagios XI helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability. We have multiple servers to monitor databases, availability of servers, and ping."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"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."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"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 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."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"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."
"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."
