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."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"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."
"Technical support is great."
"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."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"DX UIM is scalable."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"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."
"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 of Nagios XI is customization. We can customize based on our requirements. We can do modifications and implement a lot of scripts. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"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."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"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."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"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."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"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."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
