We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and Splunk APM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."Probe packages and probe deployment."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"Technical support is great."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"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."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"The most beneficial aspect of Slunk APM is the ATM, which is the map displaying the inbound and outbound relationships of the microservices, as well as the traffic between these dependencies. This feature provides us with valuable insights and helps us understand the interactions between different microservices."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
"The volume it handles is very good, including the number of metrics, the volume number of traces, and more."
"This solution is very quick to deploy as it is a SaaS solution and integrates with tools like ServiceNow."
"Detectors are a powerful feature."
"It is a good tool. It allows you to set alerts for application and infrastructure monitoring, and it allows you to create dashboards."
"Splunk APM has helped us to standardize logging and monitoring procedures."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"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."
"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."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"I've been using the Splunk query language, and it can be a bit time-consuming to set up the queries I need."
"The monitoring of workloads when using SignalFx could be improved."
"There are some predefined metrics.......we may want to create customized metrics."
"It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."
"The licensing model is expensive. We need to monitor the amount of data ingested because the cost is based on the data collected."
"We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM."
"They can improve the flow system and the keyword language. It has predefined keywords, but they can be improved."
"Splunk APM should include a better correlation between resources and infrastructure monitoring."
