We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer 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."DX UIM is scalable."
"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."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"It is very scalable."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"It is great at telling you if your devices are working and it keeps an eye on your network's overall performance."
"What my organization likes best about SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is its easy deployment. It's also well-integrated in terms of monitoring because my organization also uses a SolarWinds solution for monitoring. You can connect SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer directly to that monitoring tool to get information. My organization also finds the default graphs that appear before the configuration in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer very useful."
"The software management tools are very useful for our customers."
"The dashboard alerts me when a critical device goes off the network."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"What the network team found most valuable in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is that it helps them to troubleshoot or analyze the issue. For example, traffic that comes from our location: India, goes to the US, so for the network team to analyze where the traffic comes from and where it is directed, and whether the packets are being dropped, they use SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer. The network team also likes that through the solution, they can analyze the complete traffic utilization and how they're going to use it. SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is user-friendly. The team finds it comfortable to use."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to look for any increases in bandwidth over time so that we can plan before it becomes critical."
"What I like the most is the bandwidth assessment."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"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."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"The problem is that SolarWinds is trying to bolt in too much and that can leave bugs, which you have to then sort out, leaving the product unstable. SolarWinds needs to try and slow down and improve the stability of the product, as opposed to bringing out more and more features."
"I would like to see more training videos and additional material for learning how to use this solution."
"NTA's documentation for the implementation phase needs some enhancement."
"I would like to see more artificial intelligence capabilities."
"I would like to see better customization capabilities."
"An area for improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is application visibility because some applications aren't being recognized correctly. You can see applications such as Facebook and YouTube, but SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer needs to have more visibility into more applications. Currently, SolarWinds fails to detect more powerful applications, such as Zoom and Teams. If SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer can recognize every application and be able to report on each in terms of bandwidth, then that would be good. This is what I'd like to see in the next release of the solution."
"It can be complex to set up and configure."
"They should work on the configuration of the Log Analyzer feature."
