"Technical support is great."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"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."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"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 dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"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."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"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 is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"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."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"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 could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"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 reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"Nagios XI can improve network and hardware monitoring, these parameters should be simplified to allow usage for monitoring. Additionally, if there was automatic reporting it would be helpful."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
