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."
"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."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"Technical support is great."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"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."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"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."
"Nagios XI helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability. We have multiple servers to monitor databases, availability of servers, and ping."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"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."
"Stability."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"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."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"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 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."
"The PNP4Nagios plugin not working easily with XI is an issue for me, because some open source monitoring plugins do not work out of the box. But in the end, you learn to live with it."
