We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and Nagios XI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"Technical support is great."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"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."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"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."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"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."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"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 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."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"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."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
