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."
"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."
"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds NPM is the performance monitoring to see the memory, and CPU utilization."
"It combines and presents information from many different sources, giving a corporate-wide vision on a single pane of glass."
"The people in technical support are very good."
"I love the GUI. Almost everything is accessible through the web interface. It is very user-friendly. It is easy to drag and drop resources wherever you want them."
"SolarWinds' network and server application monitoring features are strong."
"One of the best features is the reports feature."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its graphical interface and reports."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the alerts."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"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."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"The integration needs to be improved."
"The only real caveat that we have or that I have an issue with is when I go on vacation, it's a little hard for me to go and modify alerts so that I don't get alerted about things when I'm on vacation."
"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."
"SolarWinds could offer more support and insights for a broader range of devices. Currently, it focuses on routers, switches, and some load balancers. However, it lacks an out-of-the-box dashboard for monitoring firewalls and some other modern network security devices. We have to customize it a lot."
"An area for improvement would be the use of modular licenses, which are not practical for big clients."
"It is difficult for stakeholders to translate technical requirements, which results in difficulties selecting a platform or implementing a solution."
"Technical support and releases are not particularly reliable."
"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."
