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."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"I love the GUI. Almost everything is accessible through the web interface. It is very user-friendly. It is easy to drag and drop resources wherever you want them."
"From web interfaces to custom monitors and alarms, this product has a high level of flexibility that can be molded to suit your business needs, regardless of the size of your organization."
"SolarWinds' network and server application monitoring features are strong."
"We have configured multiple alerts for our network devices, including routers and switches, so that we are notified if any interface goes down."
"The benefit of this solution is the reporting. We're able to report on and see our network in a graphical form. We are able to detect when a device is added to a network."
"I like the tracking feature to track devices and see where they are connected. This is very practical."
"The biggest thing for me is that it provided enough information for me to monitor. It alerts and provides you with the information you need."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds NPM is the performance monitoring to see the memory, and CPU utilization."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"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."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"There should be a little bit more integration in some of the other tooling and utilizing the APIs of devices or tools could be a little bit better."
"Scalability is a bit tricky because it requires more gateways in order to get the performance you may need. It also requires a lot of licensing."
"The solution's customer service is not very good because the support takes too long."
"SolarWinds needs to be improved such that it is on par with the leading products in the market."
"The dashboard of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
"The price of the solution can be improved."
"The root cause analysis and installation faults are not clear."
