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."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"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."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"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."
"It is easy to implement."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"The alerting and usage tracking notifications on disk space capacity, network and processor utilization."
"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"This has helped us to monitor the availability of our routers, switches, servers, and virtual environments."
"The biggest thing for me is that it provided enough information for me to monitor. It alerts and provides you with the information you need."
"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."
"It is considerably cheaper compared to other tools."
"Technical support has always been great. They are very responsive. We've been satisfied with their level of support."
"I can do everything remotely, including running PowerShell scripts or performing standard updates."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"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."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"We decided that we were no longer going to trust that their products have not been capitalized."
"The reporting module that got integrated into the system itself, used to be a standalone solution and I preferred that."
"It is not that stable. As a Windows software, I have seen issues with SolarWinds. The performance is slow."
"The solution does not offer much customization so is somewhat inflexible."
"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."
"GUI needs improvement with a more graphical dashboard."
"Sometimes there are issues when upgrading to a new version of the product."
"The solution's customer service is not very good because the support takes too long."
