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."
"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."
"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."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"Their support team is efficient, and it is easy to set up."
"Monitoring capabilities are at a high level and it is easy to see utilization, access ports, and CPU memory in real time or through a lens for long-term visualization."
"SolarWinds NPM has a colorful UI and many easy-to-use features. It does not need to be configured as much and is also easy to install."
"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."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"It is very extensible with 'SWQL' and APIs to where we are beginning to integrate it with network automation."
"The ability to quickly identify downtime is the most valuable."
"SolarWinds dashboard is very fast. Also, their interface is very good, it looks very user-friendly. The product allows me to see a summary of the network being monitored at a glance."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"Technical support can be slow to respond."
"Robustness of network element mapping tool could be better"
"Complex and overly detailed setup."
"The reporting module that got integrated into the system itself, used to be a standalone solution and I preferred that."
"The dashboard of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The solution is not always good with new features, so it's take a long time."
"Technical support and releases are not particularly reliable."
"The integration needs to be improved."
