We performed a comparison between Amazon CloudWatch and DX Unified Infrastructure Management 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."The alarms are one thing I love about AWS CloudWatch. It has alerts that notify us when resource use is approaching the limit."
"Every time we get an alarm or have an incident, CloudWatch is always there. We use it not only for resources we've spun up in the cloud, but also for some of our on-premises resources."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon CloudWatch is the monitoring and UI."
"The product helps us collect and store various metrics to set test alarms."
"What I found most valuable in Amazon CloudWatch is that it gives you detailed information, which I found helpful because it can even provide you with data for the past one minute, which is quite granular. That was what helped me most in terms of finding the root causes. Task automation is another valuable feature of Amazon CloudWatch."
"The most valuable features of Amazon CloudWatch are metrics, dashboards, alarms, logs, events, logs insight, and application insights."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon CloudWatch is intrusion prevention."
"I can put it in a simple term, its simplicity is always there."
"It is easy to implement."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"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."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing, because they have a premium version, but it's not really a premium version. It's just an enhanced monitoring version, and it can be a bit expensive depending on your usage."
"The technical support must be improved."
"When customers want to see the CPU or memory utilization there is a cost. This should be free to see the utilization."
"I think something that can be improved are the alerts and alerting mechanism based on no rejects. We want to have it more flexible and that is one of the key things that is required."
"The dashboard of Amazon CloudWatch is not very customizable right now."
"Incorporating a straightforward method or a plug-and-play solution for integrating these databases with our systems, facilitating smooth data transfer, and enabling the creation of dashboards for monitoring and analysis would be beneficial."
"It's not an advanced way of monitoring."
"The product’s documentation must be improved."
"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."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"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."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
