We performed a comparison between Dell CloudIQ and IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."
"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"The SMP and the xStats, which is for flat file integration, are both useful for integrating the various metrics that the device provides to monitor the performance of those systems."
"The comprehensiveness of this solution's collection of network performance and flow data is one of the basics in the field for what it does. It meets all of our needs. So for all those areas, for the most straightforward collection capabilities, right up to NetFlow and even telemetry, it meets all those demands. Not only just basic or fundamental SNMP collection capability, but the product also supports what we need for the future with telemetry streaming. So it's very comprehensive."
"Flexible architecture: You can extend the system and its capacity by attaching another cluster pair."
"Its ability to monitor practically any type of network device via SNMP is most valuable. This is the main functionality that we're using. If a network device exposes a metric, such as interface utilization, SevOne will monitor it for us."
"Data Insight reporting tool is the most valuable feature. They came up with it a couple of years ago. The most pleasing factor is the dark theme. You don't have a white background. It has templates that you can create for all kinds of reports that you can hit on the fly. It's much better printing of the reports. If you want to send PDFs to people, the reports are actually decent. Whereas for years, the old architecture of the PDFs was rubbish and even our customers said, "We have to manipulate your PDFs because they all have bad margin breaks. SevOne fixed that a couple of years ago with the new Data Insight. It's fantastic."
"One of the most valuable features is the graphs, which you can build instantly. I have used some open-source platforms in the past, but they are not as good. With SevOne, the sampling in the graph can be every few seconds, not just every few minutes, and that's really helpful. It's really fast."
"The automation feature is good because if your CMDB is OK and it is already in sync, then the automation part is good to go."
"With this tool it is interesting to show the info to the client and explain where the traffic is."
"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"One area that requires a little bit of improvement is the topology of visualization and being able to map out connections, end-to-end. It's able to do that, but it's not as impressive as we would like it to be. We would like to understand the different interface types and the connection points better, through the visualization. Heatmaps also need further development."
"The customizations are very hard. The person doing it has to be very good at analytics and has to be very good in all languages"
"The tool needs improvement in non-Cisco SD-WAN."
"Software upgrades can be tricky is not easy."
"We need to be thinking about streaming telemetry protocols. They already have the port for enhanced visualization, which they already have through Data Insight."
"The GUI: both the dashboard/user view and the admin tool."
"The user management features need to be improved. It would be nice if we had more granular control, or layers of control, out of the box."
"The reports are easy to configure but they are a bit outdated in terms of appearance and visualization."
