We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and SCOM 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."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"SCOM has improved our organization by simplifying the monitoring process. The system tells you what the bi-weekly or monthly usage was and that enables us to report this information to the manager. It shows if there was a connectivity issue that needs to be fixed and it's easier to concentrate on what needs to get fixed. System errors, therefore, get fixed faster."
"This solution helps our application teams by allowing them to drill further into issues and perform a root cause analysis."
"The most valuable feature is the extensibility, as there are really no limits as to what you can do with it."
"It takes a lot of the headache out of managing your data centers and software in other places."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"The solution is used for monitoring the hardware inventory. For instance, it helps with the whole operational monitoring view for the company's infrastructure."
"The solution has improved our overrides and the ability to start services if they're stopped."
"I like the historical reporting of observer metrics."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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 biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"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."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"Stability."
"The console feature is very poor, and it would be very good for us if this were improved."
"On-prem network monitoring is something that could be improved drastically."
"We didn't know the solution enough, and therefore, it took a while to set everything up correctly. There was a learning curve."
"The solution should be more user-friendly and offer a better user interface."
"The price could be improved."
"I would like to see better support for monitoring Unix-based systems."
"The dashboard features are not user-friendly for our management team, only for the technical department."
"Application monitoring must be improved."
