DX Unified Infrastructure Management appears to have the upper hand for large enterprises due to its comprehensive features and scalability, while ManageEngine OpManager is preferred for its ease of use and cost-effectiveness in network monitoring.

Features: DX Unified Infrastructure Management shines with its scalable architecture, stable non-Java framework, and diverse monitoring probes. It integrates multiple monitoring needs, enabling large enterprises to customize extensively. ManageEngine OpManager focuses on network performance monitoring, provides an intuitive solution for managing network devices, and offers a user-friendly interface.

Room for Improvement: DX Unified Infrastructure Management could improve customer support, integration capabilities, and reporting features. ManageEngine OpManager could enhance its reporting capabilities, dashboard customization, and incorporate advanced features for non-network devices.

What Is The Biggest Difference Between CA UIM and Manage Engine?
UIM is a very old, expensive, conglomeration of tools all written by different companies. ManageEngine has moderate capabilities but largely developed for smaller companies. If you read their reviews there is a great deal of angst with their support and implementation services. Also, they are all separate products built to be standalone so there is not the integration you would find in a true AIOps platform. They are also far more expensive than our offering.

Featured Reviews

Mark Tukh - PeerSpot reviewer
Great scalability, versatility, infrastructure coverage and ease of implementation
I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten. The number of people needed for deployment depends on the customer, but we usually need at least one person and two to three at other times. The initial implementation takes about two months. The full implementation can be infinite because you may want to implement more. The product does not require a lot of maintenance. To increase the implementation, we push additional services in the first and second years to make it more robust and fully implemented. We usually sell to big enterprises. It can also be affordable for smaller enterprises, but we don't work with them a lot. We have from 2,000 to 10,000 workers. So the product itself can have five, ten or even 20 users.

MUBDIUL ISLAM - PeerSpot reviewer
NetFlow monitoring has improved operations but needs better configurations
For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view. When I create the business view, I experience problems with the port interface. When I add the interface, I am confused about which interface is connected to which endpoint. If identifying the interface was easier, it would take less time to configure. Another issue is with threshold values; sometimes, it shows kilobytes (kB) while our threshold is set to gigabytes. This can be confusing. Improving this aspect would be beneficial. In URL monitoring, there is room for enhancement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"DX Unified Infrastructure Management offers visibility into network activities, integration capacity, and enhances monitoring at the core and application levels."
"It is easy to implement."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"It is very scalable."
More DX Unified Infrastructure Management pros
"I like being able to push configurations to multiple devices. If you have the same configurations for all the branches, it's easier to use ManageEngine OpManager and push configurations at once rather than individually pushing them to each device."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."
"The solution gives pretty good network visibility. I am also impressed with it's monitoring."
"I am satisfied with ManageEngine OpManager's monitoring features."
"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."
"The setup was easy."
"The solution's most valuable features are reporting, event notifications, and alert management."
More ManageEngine OpManager pros
 

Cons

"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"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."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
More DX Unified Infrastructure Management cons
"The dashboard could include more features."
"For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view."
"Some of our customers have been asking that OpManager have a feature to monitor the operating system, however, I tell them that Endpoint Central is doing that. You can buy endpoints and then OpManager, and they integrate between them, and everything is okay."
"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."
"We have been facing an issue since last year when a lot of our users started to work from home through their mobiles or computers. We are having trouble reaching these devices. We are now planning to publish our instance to the cloud so that we can reach these devices. Its performance should be improved in terms of the discovery of the devices. I would like to feel confident with the discovery that this solution does. For example, on my dashboard, I would like to be able to view a list of all devices seen on a specific server. At present, it is difficult to find such information. This would be an excellent feature to have."
"The data provided by the tool is not accurate."
"WMI and SNMP integration with the domain controller should be seamless"
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"Pricing for DX Unified Infrastructure Management isn't cheap at all. It's a complex tool, so you have to pay more. No one is happy with a large bill to pay, but if it's a complex product and you designed a complex solution to be monitored, it'll be your fault that you need to buy an expensive product, and that would be implicit in the design of DX Unified Infrastructure Management. Monitoring is just a small part of it. Sometimes you have to pay a significant amount of money for a complex yet very good solution."
"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."
"The price of ManageEngine OpManager is reasonable. We have an annual license and the cost comes from how many devices are being monitored. There is not anything extra cost for maintenance and support."
"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."
