Find out in this report how the two Cloud 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."
"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."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"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."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"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."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"We don't have any issues with the stability of SolarWinds NPM."
"Monitoring capabilities are at a high level and it is easy to see utilization, access ports, and CPU memory in real time or through a lens for long-term visualization."
"With just three modules, I can monitor server performance (whether it’s a VM, in the cloud, or an on-premises server."
"The product is lightweight in terms of memory use, requiring only 10 megabytes or less."
"The set up was very easy. We didn't have any problems with the setup. The deployment took less than an hour."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The solution ranks as one of the top five monitoring tools."
"We can proactively fix historical issues, so we won't face those problems in future."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"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."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"It would be good to have high security."
"The aesthetic widgets should be dynamic widgets, so the customization can be even more customizable."
"Having more technical and support resources available in Saudi Arabia would be helpful."
"If they’re going for a “cover everything” approach, then they need to do so and enable a bit more of the "cover everything approach" within every one of the tools."
"The integration with video apps could be better."
"The integration needs to be improved."
"Better offline license management. I’ve had to get in touch with customer support several times simply to remove an expired license from our NPM servers."
"SolarWinds NPM can be very slow at times. The database optimization can be done to improve the product performance."
