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."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"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."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"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."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"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."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"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."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"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."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"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 product's stability could be even better."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
