We performed a comparison between DX Performance Management and DX Unified Infrastructure Management 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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of use."
"Great dashboards and good integration with other solutions."
"The tool helps us understand network performance."
"There is a good amount of vendor certification which comes with the product. That's all factory-loaded, no need to load any custom-made files. Most of the metrics are calibrated and captured from the devices based on the defaults available from vendor certification."
"My sales representative, I would not trade him in for the world. He has done a really good job. I am really happy with him."
"Downloads and records are the most valuable features."
"We have been able to get a little bit better at seeing more things in real time and more just in time, so we're less reactionary."
"The integration to the other products that we use: NFA, we use ADA, we use Spectrum; and CAPM integrates all those into a single pane of glass."
"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."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"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."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring 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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I'm not a fan of many extra features since they usually burden the software and reduce its reliability."
"Some of the individual report views, the way some of the columns sort, there's room for improvement in giving us more flexibility in being able to sort reports based, for example, on what columns the metrics fall under."
"I think it would be helpful having a more comprehensive set of certifications so that I could natively deploy devices to my environment and the tool would immediately recognize and immediately be able to provide relevant performance information without a lot of tuning on my part."
"CA PM can be complex to build and configure. Creating the folders / groups / sites required establishing many rule sets."
"Policies could be improved."
"It seems like we escalate more than I would like to. If anything, they should look at how the tier support goes in place."
"This tool gathers so much data, which makes it hard to convert over. To upgrade it, you really need the solution backed up. That is the issue that we are facing right now."
"Since we are out of registered IP space, we are moving to ipv6 and we expect our vendors to move with us, and they have not delivered yet."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"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."
"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."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
