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."
"It is easy to implement."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"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."
"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."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"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 solution is pretty stable."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"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."
"Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"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."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"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."
"Stability."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"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 interface could be more user-friendly."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"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 installation and monitoring need improvement."
