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."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"It is very scalable."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the monitoring capabilities."
"The nice thing about SolarWinds is that it's kind of all-in-one. I can manage the status of my networking devices, whether they are up or down, I can see how much traffic is going across an interface, and I can run a report that tells me exactly what that traffic is."
"It gives us a map of the network setup and one console to see the entire network."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the alerts."
"It did a good job of the collection and then an investigation of the net flow of information for understanding the applications that were being used at certain locations."
"The solution is extremely stable. We haven't had any issues in that regard. We haven't had issues with bugs, glitches, or crashes."
"I like the tracking feature to track devices and see where they are connected. This is very practical."
"Technical support is very helpful with our upgrades."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"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."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"We also had to be attentive to vulnerabilities, because SolarWinds NPM have some issues in that area. We had to work with our security team, so that they could help us check and backup the data, and check what they needed to secure."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds could have a polling engine on the site that would collect the reporting and then manage everything itself."
"I would like to have a Syslog server module for this product. That would make the solution better."
"We'd like to see a bit more automation in the future."
"This product could improve by adding cloud monitoring. I want SolarWinds NPM to do much more integration, and have more involvement in cloud monitoring, like AWS or Google, or Azure. I feel like it requires lots of improvement for cloud monitoring in NPM."
"They have had a rather large security breach in the past. It's cost some companies customers."
"GUI needs improvement with a more graphical dashboard."
"Fortigate firewalls are one example of a product that we are unable to monitor properly via SolarWinds NPM."
