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."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"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."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"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 Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"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."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"Open-source software is usually not 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."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"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."
