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."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"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."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to use."
"It combines and presents information from many different sources, giving a corporate-wide vision on a single pane of glass."
"It covers everything from end to end, from the standpoint of endpoint machines and the routers and switches. The switch port also comes there."
"SolarWinds is reasonably priced."
"The nice thing about SolarWinds is that it's kind of all-in-one. I can manage the status of my networking devices, whether they are up or down, I can see how much traffic is going across an interface, and I can run a report that tells me exactly what that traffic is."
"It's a very good tool and a very stable tool."
"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"It did a good job of the collection and then an investigation of the net flow of information for understanding the applications that were being used at certain locations."
"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."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"Technical support and releases are not particularly reliable."
"Sometimes there are issues when upgrading to a new version of the product."
"The dashboard of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"We'd like to see a bit more automation in the future."
"The integration with the APIs and the web servers deployed can definitely be improved."
"The evaluation time for the product is too short especially for large corporations."
"The reporting is good, but I want it to be a little easier when creating custom reports. The reports are all on the website now, but it takes some know how to get some to display the way you would like."
"The SolarWinds notification and alerting configuration could be simplified as it would be easier to find if it was within the NPM web application instead of in a separate client application."
