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."
"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 monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"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 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 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."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"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."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"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."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"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."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
