We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and Microsoft System Center based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product. The feature I found most valuable in the solution is the MCS feature, which is the automatic deployment of the objects you want to monitor. You can set up a system, for example, if it's a Windows machine and I want to test specific devices on it, I could do that through DX Unified Infrastructure Management. That type of deployment is very good because it means you won't miss any monitoring aspect on any server."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"Technical support is great."
"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."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"We like Microsoft System Center's Operations Manager. That is primarily why we use it."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"System Center helps to create the basis for ITIL alignment."
"The deployment and asset management features are the most valuable. These are the product's main features."
"The availability performance matrix and the reporting capabilities are the solution's most valuable features."
"It can generate KPIs and management reports with monthly presentations on activities and updating the environment (success and failure)."
"Many processes could be implemented out-of-the-box, and this helped to adopt processes in areas which we lacked."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft System Center is its GUI (graphical user interface)."
"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 UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"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."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"Stability."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"The platform performance and responsiveness need improvement. It still demands high computing resources."
"The platform's performance could be improved. Additionally, its UI needs to be well-upgraded and work faster."
"The multi-tenancy support needs to be improved. We need to have the ability to manage several different environments from one central point of administration."
"We have some bugs but it's stable. It doesn't break every day. It works. Like other applications, it has a lot of bugs but they're manageable."
"Most of the documentation is online, however, there are some gaps there. The product documentation still refers back to the 2012 Server. We're pretty much in 2022. There's a ten-year gap there."
"Less server consumption would help, as would better, more flexible reports."
"In Microsoft System Center, it is difficult to follow the steps to create dataflows at times."
"System Center hasn't updated to keep up with the industry. It needs improvements in the user interface, ease of use, and overall product functionality, particularly the cloud-monitoring features. It needs more capabilities to monitor AWS and Azure infrastructure."
