We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network 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."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"Technical support is great."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"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."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"Scalability. I have never had to worry about how to handle really big environments."
"The most valuable feature is the NMS because that's the core of the system. Without the NMS, the other tools aren't that usable."
"It's a great solution for highlighting and discovering useful information regarding our network's elements."
"It also gives us the closest thing to real-time insight into network performance that we have, with just a 10-second delay. It's very important for us to know the health of the infrastructure very quickly."
"The most valuable feature as of late has been the API integration with ServiceNow."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the scale-up and scale-down. The scale-up is an operation where the CPU boosts-up and then the memory will boost-up. That works awesomely."
"In 90% of the cases, new devices are plug-and-play, so when a new version comes out then SevOne has support for it out of the box."
"One of the solution's biggest strengths is its capacity management performance, with out-of-the-box reports through NMS, as well as its ability to collect NetFlow-related data from devices. The collection of network performance and flow data is important because we have many critical business applications."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"The customizations are very hard. The person doing it has to be very good at analytics and has to be very good in all languages"
"User-friendly, multi-tenancy."
"Would benefit with the addition of AI modules for proactive data insights."
"The user management features need to be improved. It would be nice if we had more granular control, or layers of control, out of the box."
"There are a lot of pain points. My main problem is that we don't have a high availability system. There are 20 peers. We're going to lose the end-of-life appliances that are old. If we lose a peer and it doesn't come back, we lose all that data. The reason we don't have high availability is because it's double the charge."
"I'm not really sure if this was the software's fault or a server issue, but a couple of years back the disks were failing on our SevOne physical server every month and the server would go down. The secondary server took over from the primary until the disk issue was resolved. That was annoying."
"The reports are easy to configure but they are a bit outdated in terms of appearance and visualization."
"You need to plan integrations. That has been the biggest bug with SevOne so far. For the things that SevOne pulls directly, those are easy to understand, modify, and put into the database. For things that need to use the Universal Collector or xStats, you need to plan that stuff well in advance."
