We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and SolarWinds NPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud 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."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"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 us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product. The feature I found most valuable in the solution is the MCS feature, which is the automatic deployment of the objects you want to monitor. You can set up a system, for example, if it's a Windows machine and I want to test specific devices on it, I could do that through DX Unified Infrastructure Management. That type of deployment is very good because it means you won't miss any monitoring aspect on any server."
"One of the things that I like about DX Infrastructure is that the topology is good enough to see what is happening in the infrastructure. You also get alerts if something is happening in the network. There are many features and benefits. It is serving our customers in knowing exactly how their network is performing in terms of reliability. It also helps them in planning the capacity. They know how much bandwidth the branches are consuming."
"SolarWinds is reasonably priced."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We deployed the solution from new and completed the upgrades."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds NPM is the performance monitoring to see the memory, and CPU utilization."
"Being able to easily, and quickly obtain disc space statistics from servers and determine how much was free or used on various volumes."
"The people in technical support are very good."
"The product is lightweight in terms of memory use, requiring only 10 megabytes or less."
"Provides a good level of tools and covers essential components."
"It covers everything from end to end, from the standpoint of endpoint machines and the routers and switches. The switch port also comes there."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"In terms of scalability, there is room for improvement. When you start monitoring, if you have so many interfaces and you're trying to monitor them at a faster interval, or a shorter interval, you get to a point where you need to request another node."
"There should be a little bit more integration in some of the other tooling and utilizing the APIs of devices or tools could be a little bit better."
"I would like to see integration with antivirus or other security endpoint solutions."
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
"Scalability is a bit tricky because it requires more gateways in order to get the performance you may need. It also requires a lot of licensing."
"This solution would benefit from expanding on the capabilities within the API."
"The solution's customer service is not very good because the support takes too long."
"Consolidation of platforms would provide a smoother experience."
