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."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."

"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"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."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"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."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"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."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
