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 provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"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."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"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."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"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 most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"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."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"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."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"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."
"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 way Nagios displays information isn't easy for a new user to understand. It's not intuitive enough. You need to read some tutorials or be trained to understand what it's displaying. Also, I think it needs more features to improve network visibility because there are some things you can't detect."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"We often need to develop custom plugins to get Nagios to work the way we want it to work because the features we need are not always available in Nagios."
