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."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"It is very scalable."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"Technical support is great."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"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."
"One of the best features is the reports feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the monitoring capabilities."
"It gives us a map of the network setup and one console to see the entire network."
"What I've found most valuable about the solution is that it's scalable."
"The alerting and usage tracking notifications on disk space capacity, network and processor utilization."
"Provides a good level of tools and covers essential components."
"SolarWinds NPM has a colorful UI and many easy-to-use features. It does not need to be configured as much and is also easy to install."
"The most valuable features are language support and technical support."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"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."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"Technical support can be slow to respond."
"If they could combine everything into one product, that would be very helpful."
"SolarWinds needs to be improved such that it is on par with the leading products in the market."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
"I would like to see integration with antivirus or other security endpoint solutions."
"The dashboard of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The root cause analysis and installation faults are not clear."
"SolarWinds NPM could improve the graphics of the interface and more customized reporting."
