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."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"It is very scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios XI is customization. We can customize based on our requirements. We can do modifications and implement a lot of scripts. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"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."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"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."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"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."
