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"
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"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."
"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 is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"The monitoring of the network is very customizable. That is its unique feature."
"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 most valuable feature as of late has been the API integration with ServiceNow."
"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."
"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."
"Flexible architecture: You can extend the system and its capacity by attaching another cluster pair."
"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."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"User-friendly, multi-tenancy."
"The tool needs improvement in non-Cisco SD-WAN."
"There are some tweaks and enhancements that I've already requested. One is to be able to make changes per device rather than as a global setting. That has to do with naming. It's minor."
"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."
"The GUI: both the dashboard/user view and the admin tool."
"One area that requires a little bit of improvement is the topology of visualization and being able to map out connections, end-to-end. It's able to do that, but it's not as impressive as we would like it to be. We would like to understand the different interface types and the connection points better, through the visualization. Heatmaps also need further development."
"The reporting of NMS is good, but it could be better."
"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."
