"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"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."

"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"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."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"The dashboards 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."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"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 product's stability could be even better."
"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."
"Nagios XI can improve network and hardware monitoring, these parameters should be simplified to allow usage for monitoring. Additionally, if there was automatic reporting it would be helpful."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"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."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
