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."
"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."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"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."
"Technical support is great."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the alerts."
"The connectivity of the solution is very good."
"The product covers our needs for the basic care and feeding of servers, whether they are physical or virtual."
"The people in technical support are very good."
"SolarWinds is reasonably priced."
"We have configured multiple alerts for our network devices, including routers and switches, so that we are notified if any interface goes down."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"I like that SolarWinds NPM is a strong tool for monitoring network devices, switches, and routers. It's also a user-friendly tool. My team also likes how scalable it is."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"Having more technical and support resources available in Saudi Arabia would be helpful."
"The root cause analysis and installation faults are not clear."
"SolarWinds could offer more support and insights for a broader range of devices. Currently, it focuses on routers, switches, and some load balancers. However, it lacks an out-of-the-box dashboard for monitoring firewalls and some other modern network security devices. We have to customize it a lot."
"Robustness of network element mapping tool could be better"
"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."
"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."
"It would be good to have high security."
"The solution needs to integrate with additional SDN technologies that are part of the hyper market."
