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 real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"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."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"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."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of 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."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"You want to monitor a specific metric that nobody else has? You can do it even with the most basic of scripting skills, and you can always share it with the vast community of Nagios Exchange."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"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 needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"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 interface could be more user-friendly."
"Nagios XI can improve network and hardware monitoring, these parameters should be simplified to allow usage for monitoring. Additionally, if there was automatic reporting it would be helpful."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
