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 easy to implement."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"Nagios allows us to configure any device so that we can send pager alerts when people don't have access to emails. It also allows us to schedule downtime and maintenance."
"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."
"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."
"Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"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."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"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."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"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 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 installation and monitoring need improvement."
