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."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product. The feature I found most valuable in the solution is the MCS feature, which is the automatic deployment of the objects you want to monitor. You can set up a system, for example, if it's a Windows machine and I want to test specific devices on it, I could do that through DX Unified Infrastructure Management. That type of deployment is very good because it means you won't miss any monitoring aspect on any server."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"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."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"You can configure several types of architecture for high availability or load balancing."
"Features I have found most valuable with Pandora are the personalized metrics and the simplicity of data."
"The administration of the console is very easy. I like that Pandora FMS is interactive and easy to manage."
"The solution has good dashboards and graphics."
"What I value most about Pandora FMS is the simplicity of working with it."
"Thanks to this software and to the work of the support team, we have everything under control."
"The official forum is active enough to answer most of the high-end technical questions that you may have."
"Pandora's architecture is interesting. It's open so you can easily extend and enhance it. It's simpler to customize Pandora compared to other solutions. It's also scalable enough to support large environments."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"I would like to have a dashboard with all assets displayed, with a quick hover-over status."
"Third-party integration should be improved for some commonly used products."
"It would be useful if Pandora FMS included an ISO image (or «software appliance») for each big company that leases virtual private machines (VPS), just like in AWS."
"Their support is good, but it is just online communication. It would be great to be able to just call someone and talk to them instead of always writing. It works well for me because I am a decent communicator in email, but some people might find it difficult to describe in a written fashion and communicate with them that way. There is a learning curve to the interface, but once you get used to it, it is actually very powerful. They have a lot of options, but people struggle with the interface. They've improved it though, and it is getting better. They need to keep improving the learning curve to help buy-in. I'm the guy that manages it, so I'm comfortable with it. They can refine the upgrade agents to be easier. They can also do more refinement in end-user usability because not everyone is strong technically, and people who aren't strong technically might be averse to the product, even though it has come a long way. It has a complete GUI and everything."
"Pandora FMS is an overall great monitoring solution, but it does not have a community that is as large as Zabbix or Nagios."
"I think some improvements to the Android app would be good."
"I find that this software is resource heavy, and demands a lot of processing capacity."
"Improvements are needed for server and network discovery, including service-based discovery."
