"DX UIM is scalable."
"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."

"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"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 most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."

"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "

"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"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."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."

"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"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."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
