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."
"You can have thousands of devices inside and hundreds of thousands of interphases without a problem."
"We're able to present data from multiple back-end collection sources into a single dashboard for the users. So they don't have to go to multiple locations to get data about a particular item, or device."
"It gave us one location, one place to do all of group administration, and to build dashboards, and device administration, inventory counts... it really reduced our overall administrative overhead."
"It can be easily integrated with other systems and is powerful enough to collect data from a large number of devices."
"It is very easy to add devices; just be aware that it requires SNMP to be enabled."
"My sales representative, I would not trade him in for the world. He has done a really good job. I am really happy with him."
"The feature that is inherent to its core, of being able to graphically represent a trend and status, is nice."
"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."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"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."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"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."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"This may be available by now but for server space, when it comes to the disk file system, I'd like to see that graphically represented, or the trend, rather than what I'm seeing now."
"Policies could be improved."
"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'm not a fan of many extra features since they usually burden the software and reduce its reliability."
"This tool gathers so much data, which makes it hard to convert over. To upgrade it, you really need the solution backed up. That is the issue that we are facing right now."
"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."
"It needs role-based administration."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"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."
