"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."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"One of the things that I like about DX Infrastructure is that the topology is good enough to see what is happening in the infrastructure. You also get alerts if something is happening in the network. There are many features and benefits. It is serving our customers in knowing exactly how their network is performing in terms of reliability. It also helps them in planning the capacity. They know how much bandwidth the branches are consuming."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"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."
"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."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"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 is pretty stable."
"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."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."
"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."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"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."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
