"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"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."
"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."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"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 Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"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 biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"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 its GUI for users with a new look."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
