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 gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"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."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"It is very scalable."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"As we look to add more servers to our virtual environment and to understand the impact, the solution allows us to dig into the historical charts related to capacity planning."
"Being able to easily, and quickly obtain disc space statistics from servers and determine how much was free or used on various volumes."
"The people in technical support are very good."
"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."
"Technical support has always been great. They are very responsive. We've been satisfied with their level of support."
"It combines and presents information from many different sources, giving a corporate-wide vision on a single pane of glass."
"I like SolarWinds support because it's 24/7. You describe your issues, your situation and maybe two or three hours later you can discuss a solution with a technical engineer."
"The solution ranks as one of the top five monitoring tools."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"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."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"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."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"We are looking to change away from this solution because of the documentation and the solution doesn't have enough integration in our country. The documentation is too weak."
"There needs to be more integration of widgets, especially for reporting purposes."
"The solution is not always good with new features, so it's take a long time."
"Each model has different features, so clients need to purchase a separate model for SQL monitoring, database monitoring, network traffic analyzer, HTTP traffic, etc. So each feature they need is in a different model, but customers would prefer an all-in-one solution."
"The solution could be more secure."
"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 scalability can be better."
"Being able to detect devices that are trying to connect wirelessly would make using this solution much easier."
