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 easy to implement."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"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."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"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."
"The most important feature is reporting. The reports that are generated are useful and they save a lot of time with respect to monitoring."
"SolarWinds is reasonably priced."
"There are a lot of valuable features with SolarWinds NPM. We can receive a lot of detailed data from the monitoring that can use useful for investigations, especially when you are troubleshooting. It is very helpful. Overall it was a very good experience."
"It did a good job of the collection and then an investigation of the net flow of information for understanding the applications that were being used at certain locations."
"The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to use."
"With just three modules, I can monitor server performance (whether it’s a VM, in the cloud, or an on-premises server."
"SolarWinds NPM is a scalable solution since it can handle a huge number of users."
"It's easy to understand, even if you are not too technical."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"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."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"I think Solar Winds NPM needs to create a profile with documentation responsibility."
"Consolidation of platforms would provide a smoother experience."
"The solution does not offer much customization so is somewhat inflexible."
"Currently lacks integration with SMS services."
"The reporting is good, but I want it to be a little easier when creating custom reports. The reports are all on the website now, but it takes some know how to get some to display the way you would like."
"We decided that we were no longer going to trust that their products have not been capitalized."
"They need to work on their automation and automatically discover devices. They are not very good at automatically discovering devices."
"The scalability can be better."
