"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"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."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."

"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"Stability."
"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."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."

"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
