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."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"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 monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"DX UIM is scalable."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"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 is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"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."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"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."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"Stability."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"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 installation and monitoring need improvement."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"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 reporting structure could be more streamlined."
