We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and HPE OneView based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"Just the ability to provision the servers with storage and network everything within one interface, not having to go into multiple interfaces to provision those pieces."
"Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."
"The stability is very good. I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it."
"It monitors all our servers, and if there is any problem it straight away sends us an alert. If It's a faulty component, we can see it from there. It sends an alert."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."
"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."
"We have the dashboard up on a big screen, and you can actually see when things go wrong or if there are any faults with any of the servers. The backup is automated as well, so the appliance is quite good."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"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."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"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."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product, even when asked simplistic questions."
"The solution's console can be improved by making it more user-friendly and adding the capability to filter the reports out using only the information required."
"The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement."
"We've had a few issues. We just upgraded to the 3.9.0 version. We think that now that we are on that version, hopefully a lot of those things are going to go away for us."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."
