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."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"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."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"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."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
