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."
"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."
"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."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"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 gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"Nagios XI helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability. We have multiple servers to monitor databases, availability of servers, and ping."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"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."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"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 support for notification via SMS."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
