We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and Oracle Enterprise Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"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."
"Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product."
"It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"It is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for managing database consolidation, something that has been missing and difficult to do."
"It is a good tool for monitoring databases."
"The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager for a lot of services like ERP and PLM."
"The job subsystem, monitoring subsystem, alerting, grouping of targets, and reporting features are valuable to us."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"Stability."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"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."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"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."
"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."
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"We would like to have a single dashboard for monitoring and controlling all of our products."
"The tool is expensive."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
"Better mobile access would be useful."
"We could use it but definitely with some effort we can streamline much better and sometimes some box here and there, like 13C you have to really wait, but there are great features. Just have to make sure it is a stable product."
"The solution's agents work with Java, and the Java code sometimes consumes a lot of memory on the CPU."
