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."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"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."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"SolarWinds NPM is a scalable solution since it can handle a huge number of users."
"The stability is fantastic."
"We can proactively fix historical issues, so we won't face those problems in future."
"I believe the ease of setup and use, including everything, from the initial installation to the discovery of devices is the most valuable."
"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 solution is extremely stable. We haven't had any issues in that regard. We haven't had issues with bugs, glitches, or crashes."
"Monitoring capabilities are at a high level and it is easy to see utilization, access ports, and CPU memory in real time or through a lens for long-term visualization."
"I like SolarWinds support because it's 24/7. You describe your issues, your situation and maybe two or three hours later you can discuss a solution with a technical engineer."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"They have had a rather large security breach in the past. It's cost some companies customers."
"There should be a little bit more integration in some of the other tooling and utilizing the APIs of devices or tools could be a little bit better."
"Sometimes there are issues when upgrading to a new version of the product."
"It has covered everything, so no improvement is required at their end. The only thing is the price."
"The improvement would be that SolarWinds NPM thoroughly checks its patches before releasing them to the market. Better testing, alpha testing, and then releasing it to the market."
"The aesthetic widgets should be dynamic widgets, so the customization can be even more customizable."
"The solution could improve in many areas, such as the marketing and description of the products, providing areas of improvement, cloud capabilities, and being able to be more streamlined with the current integration points with other applications."
"The root cause analysis and installation faults are not clear."
