We performed a comparison between DX Performance Management and ExtraHop Reveal(x) for IT Operations 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 most valuable feature of DX Performance Management is the quick way we can collect data without putting much effort. They have a lot of customization and features with the solution internally and out of the box. We can discover the device, and start collecting information. For example, if the device is available, we can receive the CPU and memory utilization, and the interface optimization is simple and very fast to implement."
"The feature that is inherent to its core, of being able to graphically represent a trend and status, is nice."
"It is very easy to add devices; just be aware that it requires SNMP to be enabled."
"The ability to very quickly and graphically navigate around, being able to zoom in to a timeframe, apply it to all the other panels... are all very intuitive."
"It can be easily integrated with other systems and is powerful enough to collect data from a large number of devices."
"When we deployed it, right out of the box we were able to stand up Performance Management within two weeks, in our production environment, with full discovery and relevant information, actual information, that we could use in our command center, our 24/7 operations center."
"Since the implementation of the tool, it has cut down on probably 60% of our outages and letting us know what is going on."
"It saves time having it all on one place, so you do not have to jump around from different tools and try to merge the data. It is already done for you."
"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."
"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis."
"The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts."
"Wire data analytics."
"The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network."
"This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Policies could be improved."
"I'm not a fan of many extra features since they usually burden the software and reduce its reliability."
"This solution's implementation process could be quicker. They could also optimize the hardware requirements."
"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."
"It needs role-based administration."
"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."
"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."
"Install is done as root, which is a security no-no, and the database IO requirements were not stated correctly, which lead to a year of instability."
"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."
"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."
"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."
"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."
"We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services."
