We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and Nagios XI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"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."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"You want to monitor a specific metric that nobody else has? You can do it even with the most basic of scripting skills, and you can always share it with the vast community of Nagios Exchange."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"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."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"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."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
