"DX UIM is scalable."
"It is easy to implement."
"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."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"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."
"Nagios allows us to configure any device so that we can send pager alerts when people don't have access to emails. It also allows us to schedule downtime and maintenance."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"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."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"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."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
