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."
"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."
"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."
"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."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"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 dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"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."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."
"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 solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"Stability."
"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."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"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."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
