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."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"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."
"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."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"The most valuable features of Nagios XI are you can customize it based on your use case and requirements. It is flexible and easy to integrate with our systems. You can customize the solution by adding additional features using code."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"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 technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."
"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 more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"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 Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
