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."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"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 gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"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 ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"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."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"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."
"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."
