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 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 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."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"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."
"Technical support is great."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."
"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."
"The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"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 most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"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."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"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."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"The PNP4Nagios plugin not working easily with XI is an issue for me, because some open source monitoring plugins do not work out of the box. But in the end, you learn to live with it."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"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."
