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."
"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."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"It is very scalable."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"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."
"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."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"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 a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"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."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"Stability."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"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 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."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"The PNP4Nagios plugin not working easily with XI is an issue for me, because some open source monitoring plugins do not work out of the box. But in the end, you learn to live with it."
