Find out in this report how the two Cloud 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's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"With just three modules, I can monitor server performance (whether it’s a VM, in the cloud, or an on-premises server."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We deployed the solution from new and completed the upgrades."
"The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to use."
"This has helped us to monitor the availability of our routers, switches, servers, and virtual environments."
"The benefit of this solution is the reporting. We're able to report on and see our network in a graphical form. We are able to detect when a device is added to a network."
"The set up was very easy. We didn't have any problems with the setup. The deployment took less than an hour."
"The most valuable feature is the way it monitors the environment, and how user-friendly the console is for the end-user. The interface is also very easy and it captures all the information very well."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"Stability."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"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."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"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."
"We are looking to change away from this solution because of the documentation and the solution doesn't have enough integration in our country. The documentation is too weak."
"I would like to see some enhancement on the reporting side, such as making it a little bit easier to create reports or having a larger assortment of canned reports."
"An area for improvement would be the use of modular licenses, which are not practical for big clients."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved. We would like to divide the dashboards to give a clear view to our management team to show what we have and what deficiencies exist in our network."
"Being able to detect devices that are trying to connect wirelessly would make using this solution much easier."
"Consolidation of platforms would provide a smoother experience."
"The integration with the APIs and the web servers deployed can definitely be improved."
"SolarWinds NPM could improve by adding the deepest inspection, performance networking, and IP address discovery."
