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."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"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."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"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."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"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."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"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."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
