"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"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."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"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."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"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 most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"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 solution is pretty stable."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"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."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"Stability."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"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."
"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."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"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."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
