We performed a comparison between DX Performance Management and SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer 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 tool helps us understand network performance."
"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."
"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."
"When we deployed it, right out of the box we were able to stand up Performance Management within two weeks, in our production environment, with full discovery and relevant information, actual information, that we could use in our command center, our 24/7 operations center."
"One feature I like about CA Performance Management is the certification of the devices."
"The ability to very quickly and graphically navigate around, being able to zoom in to a timeframe, apply it to all the other panels... are all very intuitive."
"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 can be easily integrated with other systems and is powerful enough to collect data from a large number of devices."
"The bandwidth monitoring functionality is one of the most important features for our customers. When the customer notices that their bandwidth usage is too high for some reason, they will use the traffic analysis within SolarWinds NTA to identify which protocols (e.g. HTTPS) or applications are using up the bandwidth."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its traffic analysis."
"What people found most valuable in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is its report customization feature."
"The software management tools are very useful for our customers."
"For managing the traffic, it provides you a response about whether the traffic is down, up, or heavy, which is a very powerful feature. It has a good response time. We have been using this solution for many years, and we don't have any problem with this solution."
"They have instructional videos and other information available on the site to assist you with learning it."
"What I like the most is the bandwidth assessment."
"The monitoring is perfect, showing you the details for the utilization of resources and network bandwidth."
"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. "
"It could be a little easier to integrate new metrics."
"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."
"Product has issue collecting IP SLA data."
"Global synchronization errors. Sometimes it just doesn't finish in time due to the load."
"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 would be helpful if CA provided online training for its customers."
"This solution's implementation process could be quicker. They could also optimize the hardware requirements."
"Technical support could be improved with quicker response times."
"They should work on the configuration of the Log Analyzer feature."
"SolarWinds' technical support is ok, but it could be faster and more knowledgeable."
"Customer Support is quite complex."
"The price of the solution is a bit high for our clients. They should consider adjusting their price model."
"I would like to see more artificial intelligence capabilities."
"It's scalable, but it could be simplified because it's not completely easy."
"I'm expecting to see a little bit more artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. They need a bit more sophistication in that."
