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."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"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."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"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."
"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple."
"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 ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"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."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"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 interface could be more user-friendly."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"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 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."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
