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."
"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."
"The integration with NetFlow, the NFA solution, so that we can have our flow forensics paired with the SNMP polling performance metrics on the same page."
"What is most useful is visibility."
"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."
"When devices are having performance issues, it proactively build dashboards which allow us to go and do health checks, and resolve problems before they become an issue."
"It is the gathering of the whole performance data in our environment and our network environment, for us and our customers."
"I can get it to run a report showing, for instance, what root drives are in the critical range in terms of being full, like 90 percent full, and disseminate that information to the other areas of the organization."
"The integration to the other products that we use: NFA, we use ADA, we use Spectrum; and CAPM integrates all those into a single pane of glass."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Global synchronization errors. Sometimes it just doesn't finish in time due to the load."
"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."
"Install is done as root, which is a security no-no, and the database IO requirements were not stated correctly, which lead to a year of instability."
"Policies could be improved."
"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."
"We would like to be capable of reporting network performance with a report strictly focused on the times outside business hours, which CA PM does not currently support. We have discontinued the use of the Business Hours Filtering until CA engineers are able to resolve or offer guidance."
"It would be helpful if CA provided online training for its customers."
"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."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
