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."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"It is easy to implement."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"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."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"The solution is extremely stable. We haven't had any issues in that regard. We haven't had issues with bugs, glitches, or crashes."
"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."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"With just three modules, I can monitor server performance (whether it’s a VM, in the cloud, or an on-premises server."
"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We deployed the solution from new and completed the upgrades."
"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."
"The most valuable features are language support and technical support."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"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."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"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."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"The product is scalable, but at a cost. Extra modules have to be purchased for each extra server. The initial set up isn't complex, but will require someone who is experienced with the network monitoring system"
"SolarWinds needs to be improved such that it is on par with the leading products in the market."
"I think Solar Winds NPM needs to create a profile with documentation responsibility."
"The aesthetic widgets should be dynamic widgets, so the customization can be even more customizable."
"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 root cause analysis and installation faults are not clear."
"Technical support and releases are not particularly reliable."
"Consolidation of platforms would provide a smoother experience."
