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."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"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."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"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."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"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."
"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."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"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."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"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."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"Open-source software is usually not 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 product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
