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."
"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."
"One of the things that I like about DX Infrastructure is that the topology is good enough to see what is happening in the infrastructure. You also get alerts if something is happening in the network. There are many features and benefits. It is serving our customers in knowing exactly how their network is performing in terms of reliability. It also helps them in planning the capacity. They know how much bandwidth the branches are consuming."
"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."
"Technical support is great."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"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."
"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."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"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."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"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."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
