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."It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"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."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"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."
"It has the ability to perform mass distribution."
"The product is useful for patch management."
"It lets you know what your infrastructure is like and what state you are in."
"One of the standout features of SCCM is its application management capabilities. It allows us to create packages efficiently and deploy them to specific groups within our network. This streamlined process has significantly improved our software distribution workflows."
"The solution is user-friendly and easy to learn."
"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."
"Technical support is very helpful and very responsive."
"The solution has a very good set of features."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"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."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"The App to upgrades to the server needs to be improved."
"The tool's deployment can be cumbersome."
"There should probably be better remote support. They should also continue to improve on patch management, patching, and creating or turning products in software into deployable apps."
"The setup was complex and I faced a lot of problems initially because I was new to the solution."
"It would be better if reporting were more user-friendly. I would like to see an upgrade in the reporting structure in the next release. At the moment, you have to use an SQL query or configure it to pull reports through the graphical user interface. Their updates could be more regular. I think Mircosoft updates it every six months. They are also moving many things to Intune, and Microsoft decided to move the deployment solution there. I think SCCM is getting old, and Intune is new."
"The tool's deployment is complex and depends on the architecture you want to implement."
"The main room for improvement is the on-screen display. I think it would be good if some improvements were made."
"The cost of the product can be improved."
