We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and HPE OneView based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"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 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."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"It is very scalable."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."
"The stability is very good. I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it."
"OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."
"We lose less time managing the machines."
"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"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."
"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."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"It's a little slow sometimes. Overall, I think it does what it's supposed to do. I think that as they evolve it, it'll get quicker."
"We've had a few issues. We just upgraded to the 3.9.0 version. We think that now that we are on that version, hopefully a lot of those things are going to go away for us."
"They can improve reporting and provide more customized reports. Currently, reporting is a bit limited. It can be complex to learn and manage for beginners. Because of my experience, I find it comfortable to manage, which might not be the case with beginners. It would be good if they can make it a little bit easier to understand. They can provide a more graphical view of connectivity and other things. Their technical support can also be improved."
"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
"I saw, maybe three years ago or two years ago here, or in Barcelona, at the HPE Discover conference, a feature that you can update Clusterware with VMware. But the feature is still not live in production. Currently, you have to do all the firmware updates and then you have to do the VMware updates. So you have two reboots and it would be better if it was just one."
"The main problem that we run into, as far as stability goes, is when something loses its profile. Sometimes it requires jumping through a number of "hoops" to really get it back."
"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
