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."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"Technical support is great."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"The monitoring of the network is very customizable. That is its unique feature."
"Scalability. I have never had to worry about how to handle really big environments."
"The modules and the performance management reports that come with data insights are two of the most valuable features. I also find the reports for Wi-Fi, Netflow, LAN, and WAN for monitoring to be very good."
"The comprehensiveness of this solution's collection of network performance and flow data is one of the basics in the field for what it does. It meets all of our needs. So for all those areas, for the most straightforward collection capabilities, right up to NetFlow and even telemetry, it meets all those demands. Not only just basic or fundamental SNMP collection capability, but the product also supports what we need for the future with telemetry streaming. So it's very comprehensive."
"The most valuable feature as of late has been the API integration with ServiceNow."
"The SMP and the xStats, which is for flat file integration, are both useful for integrating the various metrics that the device provides to monitor the performance of those systems."
"One of the most valuable features is the graphs, which you can build instantly. I have used some open-source platforms in the past, but they are not as good. With SevOne, the sampling in the graph can be every few seconds, not just every few minutes, and that's really helpful. It's really fast."
"The network data collection has been very flexible for us. It's been thorough in areas that were lacking. They have a team that I've worked with to add other pieces to it. So if it's missing something out of the box, they work with me to add it. I was able to collect that data. It's not perfect, but it's pretty thorough."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"The reports are easy to configure but they are a bit outdated in terms of appearance and visualization."
"Their virtualization solution is not compatible with our Kubernetes environment, which is one of the reasons we are ending our relationship with them."
"High-frequency polling is data-intensive because you're pulling more. If SevOne could figure out a way to manage the impact of high-frequency polling on the system, that would be very popular."
"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."
"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."
"We previously have had discussions on some reporting enhancements. So, we raised a feature request, which was delivered from SevOne."
"In terms of having a complete view of our network performance, I would rate it a nine out of 10. The reason for not giving it a 10 is that there is no packet capture associated with SevOne, but we do have other tools in place to do that."
"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..."
