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 monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"Flexible architecture: You can extend the system and its capacity by attaching another cluster pair."
"The out of the box reports and workflows are pretty good and they meet our requirements well."
"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."
"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."
"SevOne provides support for all universal connectors. They internally work with other data sources to get features implemented. We have an SD-WAN implementation and use other app data to monitor performance. If you pull that data into one centralized location, that is very useful for management."
"We have benefited mainly from the use of the dashboard interface. It makes the network visually interesting for other people who are not in the network. A lot of people are not network techies who understand streams in the network. Based on location, we have streams coming in and out. They can see visually when there is some problem. They don't need to understand all the network technology behind it to be able to understand if everything is working well or if there is a problem."
"We find that the reporting is particularly valuable in terms of not only communicating with our peer teams but also with the executives."
"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 Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"Stability."
"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."
"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 method of searching for SIP and the way to create the groups."
"The tool needs improvement in non-Cisco SD-WAN."
"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..."
"SevOne should work with the graphs legend functionality."
"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 customizations are very hard. The person doing it has to be very good at analytics and has to be very good in all languages"
