"Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"DX UIM is scalable."
"One of the things that I like about DX Infrastructure is that the topology is good enough to see what is happening in the infrastructure. You also get alerts if something is happening in the network. There are many features and benefits. It is serving our customers in knowing exactly how their network is performing in terms of reliability. It also helps them in planning the capacity. They know how much bandwidth the branches are consuming."
"It is very scalable."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"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 is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"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."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"Stability."
"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."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"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."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"The PNP4Nagios plugin not working easily with XI is an issue for me, because some open source monitoring plugins do not work out of the box. But in the end, you learn to live with it."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"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."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
