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."
"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."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"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 dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"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 UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"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."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"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."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
