We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and OPS/MVS Automation Intelligence based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"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."
"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."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"One of the things that I like about DX Infrastructure is that the topology is good enough to see what is happening in the infrastructure. You also get alerts if something is happening in the network. There are many features and benefits. It is serving our customers in knowing exactly how their network is performing in terms of reliability. It also helps them in planning the capacity. They know how much bandwidth the branches are consuming."
"It's very flexible. You can customize what you need to, which is good. For example, you can do your own coding inside the tool, make your own scripting tooling."
"With the automation pieces we can bring this region up or take this region down, and it allows us to always meet our time critical requirements."
"The performance of it is beyond exceptional. It is probably one of the best products that I have ever worked with. It is easy to use, comprehensive, and can perform almost any task you need it to."
"I do not have to keep recordings. It is there and is proactive. It helps the operators, human editors, and me."
"It's a very stable product. I very much like the SSM stuff in it. The rules engine, it's awesome."
"It alerts the operators when it is time to repair the communications and the IPLs."
"The documentation is simple, easy to follow, and use. A limited, first-time systems programmer can do it, in that it is out-of-the-box almost functional."
"It's very secure, because it's a legacy application."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"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."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."
"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."
"The GUI interface could be improved, but that is coming. They are working on that."
"It definitely needs more web-based interface, to be more mobile-open. More APIs, more open source to it."
"Because of its age, it's a little bit difficult to modernize some of the integrations and some of the functions."
"Performing a stop/restart of OPS/MVS could be a little smoother. Without special coding, some undesired tasks will be started and some necessary tasks will be stopped if we have to bounce OPS/MVS during the day."
"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script."
"Some of the command sequences are too long."
"The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented."
"The further expansion of the mainframe teamcenter interface. Also, the web services support is something that I am looking into."
