"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"It is very scalable."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"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."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"Nagios XI helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability. We have multiple servers to monitor databases, availability of servers, and ping."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"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."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"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 UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"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."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
"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."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
