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 IT Infrastructure Monitoring 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."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"It is easy to implement."
"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."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"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."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"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."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"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."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"Stability."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"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."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"We often need to develop custom plugins to get Nagios to work the way we want it to work because the features we need are not always available in Nagios."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
