We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and PRTG Network Monitor 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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"It's very easy to manage when you've got time to do some work on it: things like adding devices, adding groups, adding sensor clusters, and being able to clone and move stuff around."
"The reporting module is easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is its ease of use."
"The tool is integrated with our email for the alerts."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution is easy to manage and the reports are very accurate."
"The most valuable features of PRTG Network Monitor are user-friendly, and the graphical interface is good for all the network devices that are mapped in this organization. It's very easy to find reports for any devices that we are looking for."
"It improves the status of my infrastructure, from networking devices to real-time machines."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"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."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"It would be nice if it gave us alerts via Gmail or SMS message."
"PRTG could use reporting tools and mobile alert tools. It should be easier to diagnose and respond to problems from a mobile device on the go."
"PRTG does not allow us to scan devices like we can scan software or another problem in it. Also, I cannot draw graphical graphs in Woodview/look. Another problem is that we cannot draw a good diagram in PRTG."
"The database needs improvement."
"When using PRTG Network Monitor it is beneficial if you have prior experience with it, the user interface could improve."
"I would like to see a more robust platform and a new dashboard. In addition, the code is good, but it needs improvement."
"Its price can be better. Its price is a problem for us because it is in dollars, and there is a high conversion rate. In terms of new features, it can have BGP monitoring. It should also have a dashboard and maps editor."
"The automation should be improved."
