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."
"It is very scalable."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"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 feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios XI is customization. We can customize based on our requirements. We can do modifications and implement a lot of scripts. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"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."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"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 would like to see automatic network topology."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"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 product does not have SAP monitoring."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
