We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring 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."It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"It is easy to implement."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage."
"The alerts are the most valuable feature."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment."
"We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs."
"The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable."
"It's a very easy-to-use solution."
"The most valuable feature is log reporting."
"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."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"It's a bit difficult to use. It takes some time to get into it and to get it to do what you would like it to do. It is not straightforward to use it."
"Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference."
"I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface."
"It would be useful if they provided some help pages. If you don't know too much about the tool, there should be more documentation readily available. It would be useful if they had a help button embedded in the solution so you could ask questions and get answers."
"Splunk would be better if some tools were integrated to be able to take action on security or network concerns."
"We still use Splunk Enterprise licensing. A lot of the newer features go into Splunk Cloud before Enterprise. We're not looking to switch our licensing over, so we're falling behind on the newer features."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with the automation."
"The solution should have more sensors regarding fiber intelligence for security measures."
