We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and SolarWinds NPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"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."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"Their support team is efficient, and it is easy to set up."
"I can do everything remotely, including running PowerShell scripts or performing standard updates."
"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."
"Can easily be interconnected with other management systems."
"Reporting tools are a great feature along with the ability to create customized reports for you"
"The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to use."
"Technical support has always been great. They are very responsive. We've been satisfied with their level of support."
"We found that it was easy to operate, and it was simple if anyone has entry-level working experience or even if someone is not experienced."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"Stability."
"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."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"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'd like to see a bit more automation in the future."
"The root cause analysis and installation faults are not clear."
"Complex and overly detailed setup."
"A feature I would ask for is for them to have this solution available for Linux systems instead of Windows."
"We also had to be attentive to vulnerabilities, because SolarWinds NPM have some issues in that area. We had to work with our security team, so that they could help us check and backup the data, and check what they needed to secure."
"The dashboard of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"It is difficult for stakeholders to translate technical requirements, which results in difficulties selecting a platform or implementing a solution."
"The integration with video apps could be better."
