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."
"The ability to quickly do drag and drop customized reports for dashboards."
"One feature I like about CA Performance Management is the certification of the devices."
"It gave us one location, one place to do all of group administration, and to build dashboards, and device administration, inventory counts... it really reduced our overall administrative overhead."
"There is another component of the tool called Network Flow Analysis. It gives us the ability to troubleshoot issues which do not appear right away."
"The solution's performance itself is very good because it is a vertical database that loads very fast in comparison to other products."
"We're able to present data from multiple back-end collection sources into a single dashboard for the users. So they don't have to go to multiple locations to get data about a particular item, or device."
"I can get it to run a report showing, for instance, what root drives are in the critical range in terms of being full, like 90 percent full, and disseminate that information to the other areas of the organization."
"It is very easy to add devices; just be aware that it requires SNMP to be enabled."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"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 gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"Technical support is great."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There are some areas in the technology right now, like with VMs, where we are lacking with our abilities to get inside the VM to monitor traffic within the machine."
"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."
"It needs role-based administration."
"The solution could improve the database model. It is also not very good because they have a lot of interconnections with other data sources, such as NFA and VNA."
"Global synchronization errors. Sometimes it just doesn't finish in time due to the load."
"For CA PM, there should be a way of easily migrating the reports coming from eHealth going to CA Performance Center, since CA PC is replacing eHealth."
"This solution is not very scalable."
"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 can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"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."
"Stability."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"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."
