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."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"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."
"It is very scalable."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"Technical support is great."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner."
"Nagios Core is stable."
"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."
"Provides timely notifications."
"Our customers like that Nagios Core is an open source solution. It can be customized to our customers' specific needs."
"It has made the life of the network operations staff more proactive in managing the resources of the infrastructure. It prevents disasters long before they can take place."
"The solution is quite efficient."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"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."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"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."
"Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does."
"I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."
"The tool needs to improve the integrations."
"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."
"Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available."
"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."
