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."I have found the memory metrics and the CPU metrics valuable."
"Amazon CloudWatch's best feature stems from its ability to monitor app performance."
"Our team finds it overall quite useful."
"It is a stable solution...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The detection is the most valuable feature."
"The product helps us collect and store various metrics to set test alarms."
"It's a very simple logging system."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"One of the things that I like about DX Infrastructure is that the topology is good enough to see what is happening in the infrastructure. You also get alerts if something is happening in the network. There are many features and benefits. It is serving our customers in knowing exactly how their network is performing in terms of reliability. It also helps them in planning the capacity. They know how much bandwidth the branches are consuming."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"CloudWatch's scalability could be improved."
"The solution's integration could be easier for laypersons."
"The product's configuration has some challenges. The solution needs to be more user-friendly."
"The product’s documentation must be improved."
"There could be further enhancements through CloudWatch's partnerships."
"The solution's pricing is a bit higher."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"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."
"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."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"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."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"Stability."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
