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."
"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."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"Nagios XI helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability. We have multiple servers to monitor databases, availability of servers, and ping."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"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."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"Stability."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"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."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"Nagios XI can improve network and hardware monitoring, these parameters should be simplified to allow usage for monitoring. Additionally, if there was automatic reporting it would be helpful."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"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."
