Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"It is very scalable."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"The most valuable feature is application monitoring."
"Management Console - Managing service to each server enrolled in the Solarwinds is much easier. Using a web base console, you can control your service much convenient way. There is no need to login remotely. It save a lot of time and effort."
"The initial setup was relatively easy, and we didn't have to install anything. All we had to do was put on the devices we wanted to monitor."
"The solution is end-to-end from the network and the application to the processes. Everything about the enterprise infrastructure is being covered by the solution. It's easy to use and easy to navigate and one of the leaders among monitoring solutions."
"The solution is great for monitoring. If something is going wrong, we can immediately find the root cause."
"SolarWinds is a very stable platform compared to others on the market."
"It's good at monitoring system-specific things like ports, services."
"One of the most valuable features are the reports. They're pretty good. Also, the ease of installation and customization for the client is another feature that we value. SolarWinds has a lot of features but these are the ones I like the most. We also like that the KPIs have the ability to be preset."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"Stability."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"Some custom applications cannot be monitored, and a lot more applications need to be included."
"I think they need to make reporting easier and more simple & dynamic."
"SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor could improve the server monitoring and the web application monitoring features are not good. Microsoft SCOM has better server monitoring."
"Support for the IBM Mainframe is needed."
"The stability, flexibility, and ease of use could be improved."
"The product needs to reduce its price."
"I believe that some of the trends, environmental maps, and items like those found in Orion would be very beneficial."
"An additional feature that would improve this solution is the ability to complete root cause analysis."
