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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"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."
"As the kind of enterprise that straddles the line between telco size and enterprise size, it scales for us, because we're not all the way at telco yet."
"The integration point."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"We were able to standardize the internal processes across all internal departments, resulting in almost an elimination of non-standard process flows through our organization."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
"I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is the ability to check the availability of the server for network connectivity. Additionally, the interface is good."
"Dashboard provides monitor of total assets."
"It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to."
"The solution is quite efficient."
"Provides timely notifications."
"Our customers like that Nagios Core is an open source solution. It can be customized to our customers' specific needs."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"I would recommend AI capability built-in so it becomes more predictable and we jump ahead of the curve. This is the one really important feature I would really like to see in any product that provides alarms."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"From the users perspective the looks and feel of dashboards of Spectrum would be easier to use and for understanding as APM will be in 10.5 version which we saw in CA World."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"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."
"We're using the free version, which limits us in terms of the things that we can do. If we had the paid version, a lot of our issues would probably go away. For example, we can't isolate instances that are being built or updated with the production ones. When they're being built, on Nagios, they're showing in red. It'd be nice to be able to partition those off until they're all green, and then we can bring them into the environment. This is probably because we've got the free version and not the paid version. If we went for the paid version, it would probably allow us to do exactly what we want to or remove the restrictions that we have, but if we are able to isolate instances in the free version, it would make life much easier."
"The tool needs to improve the integrations."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available."
"Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does."
"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."
"It is a bit slow due to latency."
"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."
