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."
"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."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"Technical support is great."
"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."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"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."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"Stability."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"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."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"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."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
