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 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."
"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 is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"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."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"We found that it was easy to operate, and it was simple if anyone has entry-level working experience or even if someone is not experienced."
"As we look to add more servers to our virtual environment and to understand the impact, the solution allows us to dig into the historical charts related to capacity planning."
"The alerting and usage tracking notifications on disk space capacity, network and processor utilization."
"Can easily be interconnected with other management systems."
"It covers everything from end to end, from the standpoint of endpoint machines and the routers and switches. The switch port also comes there."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"SolarWinds dashboard is very fast. Also, their interface is very good, it looks very user-friendly. The product allows me to see a summary of the network being monitored at a glance."
"With just three modules, I can monitor server performance (whether it’s a VM, in the cloud, or an on-premises server."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"Time: A worldwide deployment can be confusing for dispersed users with non-local times. Each node should have a local time (with summer offset if appropriate) & each user should view & report in their local time."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
"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."
"The solution is not always good with new features, so it's take a long time."
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
"Currently lacks integration with SMS services."
"SolarWinds NPM can be very slow at times. The database optimization can be done to improve the product performance."
"SolarWinds NPM could improve the graphics of the interface and more customized reporting."
