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 ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"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."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"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."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"I would like to be able to extend it to all of our data centers, whether they are in the cloud or not. It would be helpful if I could connect everywhere."
"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."
