"DX UIM is scalable."
"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"Nagios XI helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability. We have multiple servers to monitor databases, availability of servers, and ping."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"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."
"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."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
