DX Unified Infrastructure Management and vRealize Network Insight are leading network management solutions. Users generally favor vRealize Network Insight for its superior visualization capabilities, whereas DX UIM shines with extensive monitoring features.
Features: DX UIM features robust scalability, wide-ranging probes, and effective agent-based technology, facilitating deployment across global infrastructures with increased stability. vRealize Network Insight provides network traffic visualization, micro-segmentation insights, and comprehensive application interaction mapping, offering deep data insights for troubleshooting and network flow visualization.
Room for Improvement: DX UIM requires improvements in customer support and updates, especially in probe maintenance and alerting non-utilized VMs, and needs to accelerate integration of new technologies. vRealize Network Insight should enhance its physical networking capabilities, expand support for non-VMware environments, and improve micro-segmentation deployment granularities.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: DX UIM supports hybrid cloud environments with a flexible setup but has fluctuating support quality, especially post-acquisition. vRealize Network Insight focuses on on-premises operations with generally favorable technical support, yet its integration features could be refined.
Pricing and ROI: DX UIM offers competitive pricing, advantageous for large monitoring needs, delivering favorable ROI through efficiency and reduced manual intervention. vRealize Network Insight involves higher costs for its advanced features, and its perceived pricing might be a barrier unless integrated into larger VMware deployments with potential volume discounts.
Improving direct support for end customers, similar to Microsoft’s model, would be beneficial.
It's difficult to find necessary documentation, open tickets, and get support.
We are paying too much for technical support from VMware.
The solution helps with capacity management, enabling us to determine when we need to scale up the network.
We are managing that one but usually we have an API connector between our firewall vendor and our VMware NSX.
Better support and more accessible resources are crucial.
Broadcom should improve by going back to what was working before, offering the suite of tools that clients actually use, and allowing clients to decide the best options for them.
The pricing of DX Unified Infrastructure Management is high and often a concern for customers.
Broadcom is known for increasing product prices, making them expensive compared to what people used to pay.
DX Unified Infrastructure Management offers visibility into network activities, integration capacity, and enhances monitoring at the core and application levels.
One of the biggest problems with VMware NSX is logging, and vRealize Network Insight helps by providing comprehensive logs.
