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."
"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."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"The benefit of this solution is the reporting. We're able to report on and see our network in a graphical form. We are able to detect when a device is added to a network."
"There are a lot of options for customization of the dashboard, alerts, and reports."
"SolarWinds NPM has a colorful UI and many easy-to-use features. It does not need to be configured as much and is also easy to install."
"SolarWinds NPM is a scalable solution since it can handle a huge number of users."
"The connectivity of the solution is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the graphical user interface."
"The ability to customize the views and dashboards is nice. SolarWinds also allows us to access the data via the API. That's probably the feature I liked the most."
"The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to use."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"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."
"Scalability is a bit tricky because it requires more gateways in order to get the performance you may need. It also requires a lot of licensing."
"The price of the solution can be improved."
"I would like to see integration with antivirus or other security endpoint solutions."
"GUI needs improvement with a more graphical dashboard."
"The scalability can be better."
"Fortigate firewalls are one example of a product that we are unable to monitor properly via SolarWinds NPM."
"Real-time analytics is the major weakness of the SolarWinds NPM platform today. They've done a fantastic job enabling the collection of data. Users are now demanding the ability to generate their own graphs, views, and so on; all of this must be done by an admin today."
"The root cause analysis and installation faults are not clear."
