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."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"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 monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"Technical support is great."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"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."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"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 a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Stability."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"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."
"I would like to see more customization in the network map because it is a bit tricky to use it."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
