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."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"It is very scalable."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"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."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"It combines and presents information from many different sources, giving a corporate-wide vision on a single pane of glass."
"It is considerably cheaper compared to other tools."
"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."
"SolarWinds NPM provides an overview of network monitoring, extending its capabilities to cover other aspects, such as virtual machines and servers. The platform has features like NetPath, which is particularly beneficial for end-users, offering insights into issues like latency, packet loss, and connectivity problems with routers, switches, or servers."
"The solution ranks as one of the top five monitoring tools."
"A product that is well-tested and trusted in demanding situations."
"The alerting and usage tracking notifications on disk space capacity, network and processor utilization."
"With just three modules, I can monitor server performance (whether it’s a VM, in the cloud, or an on-premises server."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"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."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"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."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"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."
"Being able to detect devices that are trying to connect wirelessly would make using this solution much easier."
"The solution does not offer much customization so is somewhat inflexible."
"There isn't support available to us as they don't offer support in our country."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds could have a polling engine on the site that would collect the reporting and then manage everything itself."
"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 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."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
