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."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"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."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"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 Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"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."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"Nagios XI can improve network and hardware monitoring, these parameters should be simplified to allow usage for monitoring. Additionally, if there was automatic reporting it would be helpful."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
