We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and Nagios XI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"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."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"It is easy to implement."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"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."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"Stability."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"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."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
