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."
"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"The most valuable feature is the way it monitors the environment, and how user-friendly the console is for the end-user. The interface is also very easy and it captures all the information very well."
"What I've found most valuable about the solution is that it's scalable."
"We have configured multiple alerts for our network devices, including routers and switches, so that we are notified if any interface goes down."
"I love the GUI. Almost everything is accessible through the web interface. It is very user-friendly. It is easy to drag and drop resources wherever you want them."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the monitoring capabilities."
"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"It is very extensible with 'SWQL' and APIs to where we are beginning to integrate it with network automation."
"The connectivity of the solution is very good."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"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."
"Stability."
"The solution is not always good with new features, so it's take a long time."
"The solution could be more secure."
"It would be good to have high security."
"There isn't support available to us as they don't offer support in our country."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds added some technical protocols like Modbus. The market needs a simple solution for monitoring a technical device."
"I would like to see some enhancement on the reporting side, such as making it a little bit easier to create reports or having a larger assortment of canned reports."
"I think Solar Winds NPM needs to create a profile with documentation responsibility."
"The tool can only monitor up to 1000 instances in a single SolarWinds console. Customers may have over 1000 instances. Hence, it needs to support a minimum of 1500 instances. It should also improve support."
