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."
"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."
"It is easy to implement."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"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."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"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 Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"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."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
