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."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"Technical support is great."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"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."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"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."
"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 Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"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."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"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."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"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."
