"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."
"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."
"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 the foundation for our monitoring 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."
"Technical support is great."
"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."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"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 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."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"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."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"We often need to develop custom plugins to get Nagios to work the way we want it to work because the features we need are not always available in Nagios."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
