We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and PRTG Network Monitor 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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"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."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"It is very scalable."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"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 improves the status of my infrastructure, from networking devices to real-time machines."
"The network visualization helps us to drill down deeper."
"This solution provides us with the needed feedback on our IT infrastructure. It allows us to grab all the information from a single point of view."
"I can create my own program sensor. This means I can add extra monitoring capabilities into the already fundamentally strong foundation."
"I would boldly say that this is the most scalable network monitoring tool that I know of"
"The solution provides us response times to issues."
"The reporting module is easy to configure."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"Stability."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"PRTG's documentation could be improved."
"I would like to see network mapping."
"Their penetration within the market could be much better. If their pricing was lower, even though it's reasonable now, it might help them achieve this."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve Layer 2 and Layer 3 network maps and the GUI more user-friendly. Additionally, they should bundle the features so I can monitor everything on one particular device."
"I would like to see more updates available in this solution."
"They just released a newer version of the desktop app, a beta version, that I have been trialing out. I prefer the older version, only because of how the layout is designed"
"There's always room for improvement. The high availability feature is good, but it's an area that PRTG could marginally improve. For example, in PRTG, both servers have a different IP, but it would make things a lot easier if they were bound by a single IP."
"PRTG Network Monitor could improve by having a feature to allow uploading of preset standard network switch configurations and the ability to monitor the SLA configuration, such as uptime for the switches or internet connectivity. This would be very useful."
