We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and WhatsUp Gold based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network 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."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"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."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"The most valuable feature of WhatsUp Gold is NetFlow and the virtualized maps."
"Auto scanning is most valuable. It looks for rogue devices on your network."
"The most valuable features are network bandwidth monitoring and monitoring device health."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"WhatsUp Gold is very easy to deploy."
"This is a good, stable network monitoring solution for devices."
"NetFlow monitoring, real-time monitoring, and surveys have been the most valuable features for our business."
"The user interface is good enough."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"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."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"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."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"Pricing is too high relative to how many devices we use. The price list is not linear to number of devices."
"The technical support does not bother to respond."
"I think there are a few bugs now. Although they give some resolution for this, we cannot share the network remotely because of our company policy."
"I would like to see better integration with switches so that you can see what is connected to each port, what the traffic is, and have a network map automatically generated."
"Users want SMS available via Whatsapp Gold. They don't want to go through third party SMS servers. The solution should work to make this possible."
"Integrations with other devices. I want to have a product that has full integration with my active directory so I can track user activity. I want to track my complete user activity, so I'm looking for a product to implement in the near future, which will have full integration with my network and active directory users. It became very difficult to track user activity."
"You have to invest a few days to become an expert in this solution."
"I might like to see a better interface in the future."
