We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and SolarWinds NPM 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."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"One of the things that I like about DX Infrastructure is that the topology is good enough to see what is happening in the infrastructure. You also get alerts if something is happening in the network. There are many features and benefits. It is serving our customers in knowing exactly how their network is performing in terms of reliability. It also helps them in planning the capacity. They know how much bandwidth the branches are consuming."
"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."
"The most valuable features in SolarWinds NPM are the network search and diagnostic tools."
"The SolarWinds NPM framework, upon which most of their flagship products are built, empowers a wide variety of admins and users to quickly find value in their installed products."
"I like that SolarWinds NPM is a strong tool for monitoring network devices, switches, and routers. It's also a user-friendly tool. My team also likes how scalable it is."
"The other valuable system is the DSS (decision support system). If there's a fault in the network, SolarWinds is basically capable of rectifying and resolving that problem on its own without any intervention from an IP assistant or administrator."
"I love the GUI. Almost everything is accessible through the web interface. It is very user-friendly. It is easy to drag and drop resources wherever you want them."
"The set up was very easy. We didn't have any problems with the setup. The deployment took less than an hour."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Provides a good level of tools and covers essential components."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"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 had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"Stability."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"The console could be more user-friendly. It would be better if SolarWinds updated the user interface."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
"A feature I would ask for is for them to have this solution available for Linux systems instead of Windows."
"An area for improvement would be the use of modular licenses, which are not practical for big clients."
"The solution's customer service is not very good because the support takes too long."
"It is difficult for stakeholders to translate technical requirements, which results in difficulties selecting a platform or implementing a solution."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds could have a polling engine on the site that would collect the reporting and then manage everything itself."
"I would like to see integration with antivirus or other security endpoint solutions."
