We performed a comparison between Amazon CloudWatch and DX Unified Infrastructure Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."You can enable alarms and metrics, and it has robust integration with AWS services. You can also trigger events. For example, if the CPU utilization is above 80%, it can launch a new instance for you."
"The most valuable features of Amazon CloudWatch are metrics, dashboards, alarms, logs, events, logs insight, and application insights."
"What I found most valuable in Amazon CloudWatch is that it gives you detailed information, which I found helpful because it can even provide you with data for the past one minute, which is quite granular. That was what helped me most in terms of finding the root causes. Task automation is another valuable feature of Amazon CloudWatch."
"Setting up this product was easy. I found data analytics as its most valuable feature."
"The product can be integrated with AWS very easily."
"We can set CPU thresholds using the solution."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The monitoring feature is valuable."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"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."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"Technical support is great."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"Incorporating a straightforward method or a plug-and-play solution for integrating these databases with our systems, facilitating smooth data transfer, and enabling the creation of dashboards for monitoring and analysis would be beneficial."
"The solution's pricing is a bit higher."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing, because they have a premium version, but it's not really a premium version. It's just an enhanced monitoring version, and it can be a bit expensive depending on your usage."
"CloudWatch's scalability could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"Some of our customers want to use Kubernetes to monitor their CICD flow but Amazon CloudWatch does not support it. We need to use another solution, such as Datadog or Dynatrace has the needed capability."
"The product’s documentation must be improved."
"There's a learning curve with Amazon CloudWatch since we have to learn to write the queries to extract the keys and logs."
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"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."
