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."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"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."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"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."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"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."
"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 Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"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."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"Stability."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"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."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"The way Nagios displays information isn't easy for a new user to understand. It's not intuitive enough. You need to read some tutorials or be trained to understand what it's displaying. Also, I think it needs more features to improve network visibility because there are some things you can't detect."
"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."
