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."
"It is very scalable."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"DX UIM is scalable."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"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."
"We had some interfaces where the SFP Ports were having some problems after a while. We found which of the SFP Ports was having the error and changed it, so the bandwidth become okay."
"The alerting and usage tracking notifications on disk space capacity, network and processor utilization."
"SolarWinds is reasonably priced."
"Being able to easily, and quickly obtain disc space statistics from servers and determine how much was free or used on various volumes."
"Can easily be interconnected with other management systems."
"The most important feature is reporting. The reports that are generated are useful and they save a lot of time with respect to monitoring."
"I believe the ease of setup and use, including everything, from the initial installation to the discovery of devices is the most valuable."
"The set up was very easy. We didn't have any problems with the setup. The deployment took less than an hour."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"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."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"Stability."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"My team has had a lot of issues with support."
"There needs to be more integration of widgets, especially for reporting purposes."
"Better offline license management. I’ve had to get in touch with customer support several times simply to remove an expired license from our NPM servers."
"Scalability is a bit tricky because it requires more gateways in order to get the performance you may need. It also requires a lot of licensing."
"It is difficult for stakeholders to translate technical requirements, which results in difficulties selecting a platform or implementing a solution."
"Technical support can be slow to respond."
"They have had a rather large security breach in the past. It's cost some companies customers."
"The price of the solution can be improved."
