Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"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."
"One of the things that I like about DX Infrastructure is that the topology is good enough to see what is happening in the infrastructure. You also get alerts if something is happening in the network. There are many features and benefits. It is serving our customers in knowing exactly how their network is performing in terms of reliability. It also helps them in planning the capacity. They know how much bandwidth the branches are consuming."
"Compared to other vendors, it's the scheduling tool because a lot of vendors want to charge you extra for their enterprise-level license to have a scheduling tool built in to give you the ability to set up regular schedules to run and do certain data checks."
"I find it very user-friendly. Our IT department and other departments can seamlessly collaborate without requiring extensive training. As a business department, we particularly value this aspect, as our team doesn't consist of many IT users. However, we couldn't solely rely on a drag-and-drop approach to implement and utilize the solution within our departments."
"The solution is continuously adding more integrations to help with workflows and bot and task creation."
"I like the interface; it makes managing automation easy. We can set different schedules and templates for each task."
"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."
"Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues."
"I actually quite liked the no-coding functionality."
"We use it for specific cases, mainly secure file transfers, which are vital for us. And it works for us."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"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."
"Stability."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"We really need a free development environment for customers. Building and testing automation on production isn't ideal."
"While this solution is continually improving, as it is now, the user interface could use improvement when I compare it to a product like UiPath."
"It's possible that they could use a stronger community for seeking guidance and help."
"I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice."
"Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap."
"The technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina."
"The vendor is currently working on a solution that allows us to automatically create a process that is based on a document that we receive via email."
"The documentation for errors needs improvement as many of the error messages we receive are very vague."
