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."
"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."
"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"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."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"I like the tool’s scalability and real-time reports. Earlier, we struggled to give real-time reports to clients. I also like the tool’s deployment model where we can deploy it either on-premises or in-house. We don’t have to carry the data all over the globe. Also, I am impressed with the tool's flow reporting and Wi-Fi."
"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."
"We find that the reporting is particularly valuable in terms of not only communicating with our peer teams but also with the executives."
"With this tool it is interesting to show the info to the client and explain where the traffic is."
"Flexible architecture: You can extend the system and its capacity by attaching another cluster pair."
"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 most valuable feature as of late has been the API integration with ServiceNow."
"The automation feature is good because if your CMDB is OK and it is already in sync, then the automation part is good to go."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Stability."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"I would like to see live maps as an added feature. Also, build modules on AI and EML to provide better data insights that would proactively tell us what we should be looking after."
"The reports are easy to configure but they are a bit outdated in terms of appearance and visualization."
"User-friendly, multi-tenancy."
"SevOne should work with the graphs legend functionality."
"The method of searching for SIP and the way to create the groups."
"There is no service mode setup in this monitoring tool if you want to snooze alerts for any specific amount of time, to account for any activity change or major incident."
"NMS has several areas for improvement. It should be more user-friendly inside of NMS for some of the functionality in there. It's been getting better the last version or two, but the there have been bugs in there whenever I've gone to new versions."
"The reporting of NMS is good, but it could be better."
