We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and SolarWinds Network Device Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network 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."
"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."
"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."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"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."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"The product is useful for switches and IP phones."
"The alerts we are getting when we start losing connection access have been helpful."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Network Device Monitor is it can alert you when a device is not working."
"Link monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Network Device Monitor is it shows you the utilization of devices to allow you to take proactive action before something goes down or reaches the saturation point. You can take proactive action to fix the problem before it occurs."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds Network Device Monitor is monitoring."
"The solution and its interface are elaborate and fully integrate all monitored items for easy analysis and troubleshooting."
"This product proactively tells us about issues before the users notice."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"The initial setup of the SolarWinds Network Device Monitor could be easier. It took us approximately one month to complete the implementation."
"Integration with different tools, such as ServiceNow and Excel, can be improved."
"In terms of price, it could be less expensive."
"If everything were in the package so that everything was ready to go out of the box, that would be ideal."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The security could always be improved."
"The security needs improvement, which is why we are moving away from Solar Winds. We have security concerns."
"The way they are presenting the map of our devices needs to be improved."
