We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and Microsoft Configuration Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple."
"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."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"Microsoft Configuration Manager gives different tools in one solution."
"I like its ease of use. It does what you need it to do, and it's a one-stop-shop for the company and for all your deployments. If you incorporate Intune into it, you can have both. You can bring your own devices and corporate devices, and everything runs out of SCCM and Intune."
"The major features of this product are the reporting tools. The most valuable features are package deployment and application deployment. Security management is also good because any vulnerability will be identified, and you can fix it. It's the best tool because you never know what kind of client you will have. For example, you may have your offices in low bandwidth remote areas. But it's achievable because it accommodates the bandwidth that you have available. Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is an excellent reporting tool for your environment. If you want to know the details about the hardware configuration, software configuration, what is causing a problem, or when a new feature update comes in for Windows, even that goes on SCCM itself. A lot of deployment stuff."
"I manage software updates and operating systems for devices, and within seconds, we can remotely deploy a system for, say, 2,000 devices. Not only that, but we can also deploy scripts and create comprehensive compliance rules."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward."
"With the right administrator, application deployment can do wonders."
"Technical support was helpful and responsive."
"You can remote control or RDP. That has been the most valuable because we can go into one console and can get to anything we want. Instead of going to all these different consoles, we centralized everything."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"The time the solution takes for updating systems could be quicker. For example, the system information status is not updating as it should. Additionally, the database synchronization querying is slow and could be improved."
"The analysis is something that can be integrated. Their report analysis can be improved a little bit due to the fact that most of the time complaints policies are saved by the admins. It's something that we need to look into and search for."
"The solution is a bit heavy on the sources such as RAM or CPU and the software needs to be a bit lighter."
"It should provide the ability to remotely connect to mobile devices. There are some solutions that are doing that, but with Microsoft Intune, the only way to remotely connect to devices outside the organization and mobile devices is by using TeamViewer. It is pretty strange for a big company like Microsoft to not have something for that."
"SCCM does not scale well, which is one of the reasons we are not going to continue to use it."
"Could do with some cosmetic improvements on the user interface."
"SCCM can improve on third-party application support."
"SCCM should strive to enhance the accuracy of its reporting functions in order to avoid any issues with incorrect or inaccurate data."
