We performed a comparison between DX Performance Management and DX Unified Infrastructure Management 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."
"The tool helps us understand network performance."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of use."
"What is most useful is visibility."
"The out-of-the-box dashboards are valuable, in terms of being able to visualize performance data in ways that we haven't in the past."
"You can create intelligent alerts so you have enough time to replace the router or interface before it's full. The same is applicable for CBQoS channels."
"The feature that is inherent to its core, of being able to graphically represent a trend and status, is nice."
"It saves time having it all on one place, so you do not have to jump around from different tools and try to merge the data. It is already done for you."
"One feature I like about CA Performance Management is the certification of the devices."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."
"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."
"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."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It seems like we escalate more than I would like to. If anything, they should look at how the tier support goes in place."
"I have mixed feeling about the scalability. I feel like there are things which are being put into UIM right now that are not being included in Performance Center that we need to see in Performance Center. We are kind of being driven to buy UIM, and I can't justify it."
"I'm not a fan of many extra features since they usually burden the software and reduce its reliability."
"The solution could improve the database model. It is also not very good because they have a lot of interconnections with other data sources, such as NFA and VNA."
"Policies could be improved."
"CA PM Business Hours Filtering: I understand that all monitoring systems have defects. The Business Hours Filtering does not always function properly. Sometimes, when applying business hours to CA PM reports that are 30 or more days in duration, the report generation times out and does not display results. We have other CA PM reports that, when we apply Business Hours Filtering, the report results displayed are the same as without the filter. We are not sure if this is a defect in CA PM or if it is a result of our complex configuration (folder structure) and application of business hours."
"It could be a little easier to integrate new metrics."
"There are some areas in the technology right now, like with VMs, where we are lacking with our abilities to get inside the VM to monitor traffic within the machine."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"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."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
