"What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product. The feature I found most valuable in the solution is the MCS feature, which is the automatic deployment of the objects you want to monitor. You can set up a system, for example, if it's a Windows machine and I want to test specific devices on it, I could do that through DX Unified Infrastructure Management. That type of deployment is very good because it means you won't miss any monitoring aspect on any server."
"Technical support is great."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"It is easy to implement."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"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 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 solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"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."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"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."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
