We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and Nagios Core 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."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"It helps our NetOps group actually handle alarms in a way that lets them see the bigger picture of those alarms, and how they might affect our services. It helps us communicate information about the network state better to services that might be impacted by a specific network condition."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"Scalability is a highly rated feature of this solution. It is better than some of the other tools that I've used in terms of scalability. We scaled it to tens of thousands of devices."
"The main thing is obviously notifications about alerts, getting ahead of the curve to make sure that we do not have system going down, or if it is down we get to know it earlier."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"Our customers like that Nagios Core is an open source solution. It can be customized to our customers' specific needs."
"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is it allows us to develop and add as many plugins as we want."
"Provides timely notifications."
"The solution is quite efficient."
"The notifications are definitely one of the most valuable features of Nagios Core. We know what to look for and what to expect when things are down."
"Dashboard provides monitor of total assets."
"The most valuable feature depends on the project. It's great if you need to check to ensure a service is running 24/7. I can use the full solution for free, and it's flexible. If I need to add a dashboard, I can integrate it with Nagios. Cloud synchronization is wonderful."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"If they could interact with the MIBs of vendors better, and have a lot more pre-loaded ones, that would be amazing for us right now."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"From a functionality perspective, the product is not doing what it should. Also, there are some concerns about the accessibility. I would appreciate additional out-of-the-box troubleshooting scripts, like templates for addressing various issues. Currently, when troubleshooting online, I need to create my scripts. It would be beneficial if the platform could provide pre-built scripts or templates to help automate certain troubleshooting tasks."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"Needs better integration with all the other products in the Agile suite of tools; anything they could do to make that less complex, would be great."
"I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."
"It is a bit slow due to latency."
"Nagios Core does not have a graphic display."
"It would be nice if the company offered a sales or contract manager that was dedicated to our company so that we would have some sort of link to Nagios, and if we had issues or questions, we'd be able to contact them directly."
"Making it a little easier to configure and set up from the start would help. There are multiple layers that you have to wade through to be able to set it up, to do it the right way, and to get it to do what you want it to do."
"I would like to see more training videos."
"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
