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."
"Technical support is great."
"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."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"I believe the ease of setup and use, including everything, from the initial installation to the discovery of devices is the most valuable."
"I like SolarWinds support because it's 24/7. You describe your issues, your situation and maybe two or three hours later you can discuss a solution with a technical engineer."
"As we look to add more servers to our virtual environment and to understand the impact, the solution allows us to dig into the historical charts related to capacity planning."
"The stability is fantastic."
"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."
"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"The product is lightweight in terms of memory use, requiring only 10 megabytes or less."
"We found that it was easy to operate, and it was simple if anyone has entry-level working experience or even if someone is not experienced."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"Stability."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"If they could combine everything into one product, that would be very helpful."
"The evaluation time for the product is too short especially for large corporations."
"The scalability can be better."
"It is difficult for stakeholders to translate technical requirements, which results in difficulties selecting a platform or implementing a solution."
"GUI needs improvement with a more graphical dashboard."
"Sometimes there are issues when upgrading to a new version of the product."
"If they’re going for a “cover everything” approach, then they need to do so and enable a bit more of the "cover everything approach" within every one of the tools."
"They need to work on their automation and automatically discover devices. They are not very good at automatically discovering devices."
