We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and SCOM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"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."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product. The feature I found most valuable in the solution is the MCS feature, which is the automatic deployment of the objects you want to monitor. You can set up a system, for example, if it's a Windows machine and I want to test specific devices on it, I could do that through DX Unified Infrastructure Management. That type of deployment is very good because it means you won't miss any monitoring aspect on any server."
"The product has helped our organization with in-depth monitoring."
"The tool helps to monitor Windows servers. It offers alerts from a central location."
"The most valuable features in SCOM are Azure monitoring and integration with Azure Monitor for monitoring Azure-hosted servers from SCOM on-premises."
"SCOM has helped us to monitor all the VMs in our environment, especially the Windows servers."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"SCOM has improved our organization by simplifying the monitoring process. The system tells you what the bi-weekly or monthly usage was and that enables us to report this information to the manager. It shows if there was a connectivity issue that needs to be fixed and it's easier to concentrate on what needs to get fixed. System errors, therefore, get fixed faster."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is real-time alerts."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"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."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"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."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"The solution should have more tools for monitoring the cloud engine versus on-premise."
"SCOM's feature that notifies us when a server is down is not present in recent updates, which has weakened the product."
"It could use some system enhancements, such as better dashboards."
"The solution’s initial setup is difficult."
"I would like more customized reports. People should have some customization option on the dashboards for whenever they put multiple lists into it. Beyond customizing the content, there should be the ability to customize the colors so that they can engage some priority and mark challenges separately."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
"Non Windows monitoring is fairly weak. Network device monitoring is not reliable."
"The interface is a little bit cumbersome and certain actions could be simplified."
