We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and Microsoft Configuration Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"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."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"Microsoft has done a good job with authentication solutions, such as single sign-on, or open authentication."
"It is a very well-rounded product. It is a complete package with all the features using which we are able to manage our PCs very efficiently."
"The cloud account management is a valuable feature."
"You can remote control or RDP. That has been the most valuable because we can go into one console and can get to anything we want. Instead of going to all these different consoles, we centralized everything."
"It gives us the ability to set up schedules, according to what our security requirements are, to automate the patching of our servers and desktops."
"There is a faster time to rollout. If we get a new PC, it can be ready for productivity right away."
"Patching is the main feature because SCCM is made to control the entire environment without manually interpreting. So it is good to use for patching."
"I like Mircosoft's technical support. Microsoft has a few updates, like some of the critical KBs. They are published within the interval time, and in case of an escalation on the client missions, we will raise a ticket with the Microsoft team. They will create a hotfix or a critical update. They will chat with us, and that is one thing I like about Microsoft. Whenever any issues occur at my organization, they will help you out soon as possible within the SLA."
"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."
"Stability."
"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."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"In terms of scalability, I believe there's room for improvement. While SCCM is capable of handling our current needs effectively, scalability could be enhanced to accommodate future growth and larger deployments."
"We'd like the solution to make it easier to manage remote users."
"The product needs to improve scalability."
"The main room for improvement is the on-screen display. I think it would be good if some improvements were made."
"One area of improvement is regarding the patching of Office 365 products. We have some difficulties on this side, and it can be improved."
"Based on my experience with SCCM 2016, the main, big issue is not having a good user-friendly environment. It needs much better GUI."
"It needs to be able to load faster during deployment."
"The App to upgrades to the server needs to be improved."
