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."
"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"Technical support is great."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"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."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"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."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"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 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 a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
