We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management 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.
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"Technical support is great."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"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."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is it allows us to develop and add as many plugins as we want."
"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."
"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."
"I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them."
"It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"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."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."
"The mapping is a little hard."
"Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does."
"I believe Nagios Core will need to provide an option for big data platforms in the future."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"I would like to see more training videos."
"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."
"It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through."
