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."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"It is very scalable."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"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."
"Data Insight reporting tool is the most valuable feature. They came up with it a couple of years ago. The most pleasing factor is the dark theme. You don't have a white background. It has templates that you can create for all kinds of reports that you can hit on the fly. It's much better printing of the reports. If you want to send PDFs to people, the reports are actually decent. Whereas for years, the old architecture of the PDFs was rubbish and even our customers said, "We have to manipulate your PDFs because they all have bad margin breaks. SevOne fixed that a couple of years ago with the new Data Insight. It's fantastic."
"The out of the box reports and workflows are pretty good and they meet our requirements well."
"Scalability. I have never had to worry about how to handle really big environments."
"SevOne has rich API capabilities, giving us the flexibility to control what we collect and customize the collection, creation, and manipulation of now metrics as necessary."
"Another useful feature is that SevOne gives you real-time insights into your network performance. It polls every five minutes. That is important for our customers because there are some network teams that are always monitoring their networks."
"Flexible architecture: You can extend the system and its capacity by attaching another cluster pair."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"Stability."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"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."
"When I started using it, I tried adding one of the BroadWorks application servers into SevOne... it created thousands and thousands of objects from that one application server and we immediately ran out of license... It would help, when new objects are discovered, if there were a way to categorize those objects and to pick the part of the object you need..."
"Telemetry is hot these days, and IBM can improve SevOne's support for telemetry correction. Reporting is another feature that could be better. It provides the bare minimum functionality, which is good enough for most engineers, but the management isn't advanced. The new portal provides a much lighter view and better visualization, but the management is not so good."
"Some similar solutions offer end-to-end visibility."
"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"
"The reporting of NMS is good, but it could be better."
"User-friendly, multi-tenancy."
"The tool needs improvement in non-Cisco SD-WAN."
