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."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"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."
"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."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"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."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"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 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."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
