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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"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."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios XI is customization. We can customize based on our requirements. We can do modifications and implement a lot of scripts. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"The most valuable features of Nagios XI are you can customize it based on your use case and requirements. It is flexible and easy to integrate with our systems. You can customize the solution by adding additional features using code."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"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."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
