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."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"It is very scalable."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"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."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this 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."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"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."
"Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization 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."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"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 would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"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."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"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."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"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 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."
