"It is easy to implement."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"One of the things that I like about DX Infrastructure is that the topology is good enough to see what is happening in the infrastructure. You also get alerts if something is happening in the network. There are many features and benefits. It is serving our customers in knowing exactly how their network is performing in terms of reliability. It also helps them in planning the capacity. They know how much bandwidth the branches are consuming."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."
"Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"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."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"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."
"We often need to develop custom plugins to get Nagios to work the way we want it to work because the features we need are not always available in Nagios."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"The way Nagios displays information isn't easy for a new user to understand. It's not intuitive enough. You need to read some tutorials or be trained to understand what it's displaying. Also, I think it needs more features to improve network visibility because there are some things you can't detect."
