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."
"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 is easy to implement."
"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."
"What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product. The feature I found most valuable in the solution is the MCS feature, which is the automatic deployment of the objects you want to monitor. You can set up a system, for example, if it's a Windows machine and I want to test specific devices on it, I could do that through DX Unified Infrastructure Management. That type of deployment is very good because it means you won't miss any monitoring aspect on any server."
"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 is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"The most valuable feature is the extensibility, as there are really no limits as to what you can do with it."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of Windows and Linux servers."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is the capability of using classes within your management pack development."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is real-time alerts."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"The stability has been great."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"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."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"The end-user components, including the dashboards, the administration console, and the web console, need to be improved."
"The solution can be improved by expanding to cloud usage."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
"The GI is difficult to work with and the reporting servers are also difficult."
"The console feature is very poor, and it would be very good for us if this were improved."
"Regarding certain issues in the solution, it can be difficult to generate reports if we have a program that is not user-friendly for reporting. While this is not necessarily negative, we may need to use another solution."
"On-prem network monitoring is something that could be improved drastically."
"I would like to see more standard libraries for the market solutions, out of the box, that you don't need to do a lot of work on."
