We performed a comparison between DX Performance Management and OpenText Network Node Manager i based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two DX NetOps solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"Scalability is the reason we bought the product to begin with. It was designed from the ground up for carrier-grade services, and we are in effect a MSP ourselves. So we were really interested in looking at something to be able to handle the multi-tenancy and scale as large as possible. This was the only solution that we really considered at that level."
"The solution's performance itself is very good because it is a vertical database that loads very fast in comparison to other products."
"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."
"Downloads and records are the most valuable features."
"The ability to quickly do drag and drop customized reports for dashboards."
"One feature I like about CA Performance Management is the certification of the devices."
"There is another component of the tool called Network Flow Analysis. It gives us the ability to troubleshoot issues which do not appear right away."
"It's quite a mature solution."
"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."
"The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors."
"You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration."
"Most valuable function would have to the internal causal engine and its root cause analyzer which keep us updated on critical errors and incidents in our network environment."
"It is a scalable product."
"The platform has good stability."
"A good enterprise-level solution."
"It would be helpful if CA provided online training for its customers."
"Policies could be improved."
"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."
"CA PM can be complex to build and configure. Creating the folders / groups / sites required establishing many rule sets."
"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."
"I would like to have more tasks, graphs, and possibilities for linking to the graphs and reports added to the solution."
"When it goes through discovery, or whatever it is doing in the back-end that slows it down, sometimes we get some failures with it. "
"The quantity of views which are tied to specific metric families is too high. Also, the problem is the view doesn't tell you which metric family it uses, so you don't know why you don't see data."
"The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement."
"Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive."
"We had some issues with some of the features, some modules are not meeting expectations."
"As the technologies evolve, also these solutions or the monitoring tools should evolve to cover the progress in technology, including capabilities related to monitoring of virtualized devices today, as the DNS is on the table in this way."
"The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports."
"They should add AI options in the product's next release."
"The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly."
"The solution should integrate with NAC servers."
