We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and Microsoft Configuration Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."
"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."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"Technical support is great."
"This solution has made life easy with respect to patching, compliance, and OSD."
"There is a faster time to rollout. If we get a new PC, it can be ready for productivity right away."
"Microsoft is being very competitive right now, and they are really investing in a lot of new features to be more competitive in the marketplace."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is patch management."
"The most valuable feature is the graphical-based reports of software updates that have been successful, the ones that have failed, and a summary of where the failures are what security breaches may occur."
"I like the data collection."
"This solution helps us by automating the patching of our system."
"It gives us the ability to set up schedules, according to what our security requirements are, to automate the patching of our servers and desktops."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"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."
"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."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"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."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"The main thing is that SCCM has to become an appliance instead of a server. When I say appliance, it has to come preconfigured so that it is drop-shipped into the enterprise and then you activate the feature sets that you want. It should pull down all the latest binaries. Once that is all there, it should have a discovery tool which goes out and discovers the assets within an enterprise. If the server, workstation, and applications are all coming from the same vendor, why not have the vendor do this work for us and automate it as much as it possibly can?"
"Microsoft should extend support for additional platforms."
"The cost of the product can be improved."
"The tool's deployment is complex and depends on the architecture you want to implement."
"It is not easy to get good technical support, especially at level one."
"The ability to integrate MDM would be great."
"The solution can be improved by speeding up the synchronizing of the policies on the devices."
"I would like to see an agentless version of the solution."
