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's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"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."
"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"It is very scalable."
"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."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Stability."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"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 installation and monitoring need improvement."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"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 product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
