"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."

"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."

"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."

"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"Stability."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
