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."
"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."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"Technical support is great."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"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."
"It is easy to implement."
"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."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"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."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"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."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"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."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"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."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"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."
