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."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"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."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"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."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"You want to monitor a specific metric that nobody else has? You can do it even with the most basic of scripting skills, and you can always share it with the vast community of Nagios Exchange."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"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."
"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."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"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 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 its GUI for users with a new look."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
