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."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The most valuable features of Nagios XI are you can customize it based on your use case and requirements. It is flexible and easy to integrate with our systems. You can customize the solution by adding additional features using code."
"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."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"Stability."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"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 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."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
