We performed a comparison between DX Performance Management and DX Unified Infrastructure Management 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."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"It is very easy to add devices; just be aware that it requires SNMP to be enabled."
"What is most useful is visibility."
"The ability to quickly do drag and drop customized reports for dashboards."
"The most valuable feature of DX Performance Management is the quick way we can collect data without putting much effort. They have a lot of customization and features with the solution internally and out of the box. We can discover the device, and start collecting information. For example, if the device is available, we can receive the CPU and memory utilization, and the interface optimization is simple and very fast to implement."
"There is another component of the tool called Network Flow Analysis. It gives us the ability to troubleshoot issues which do not appear right away."
"Downloads and records are the most valuable features."
"Since the implementation of the tool, it has cut down on probably 60% of our outages and letting us know what is going on."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of use."
"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."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"It is very scalable."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There are some areas in the technology right now, like with VMs, where we are lacking with our abilities to get inside the VM to monitor traffic within the machine."
"This solution is not very scalable."
"When it goes through discovery, or whatever it is doing in the back-end that slows it down, sometimes we get some failures with it. "
"CA PM Business Hours Filtering: I understand that all monitoring systems have defects. The Business Hours Filtering does not always function properly. Sometimes, when applying business hours to CA PM reports that are 30 or more days in duration, the report generation times out and does not display results. We have other CA PM reports that, when we apply Business Hours Filtering, the report results displayed are the same as without the filter. We are not sure if this is a defect in CA PM or if it is a result of our complex configuration (folder structure) and application of business hours."
"It could be a little easier to integrate new metrics."
"Product has issue collecting IP SLA data."
"I'm not a fan of many extra features since they usually burden the software and reduce its reliability."
"I think it would be helpful having a more comprehensive set of certifications so that I could natively deploy devices to my environment and the tool would immediately recognize and immediately be able to provide relevant performance information without a lot of tuning on my part."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
