We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and SCOM 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."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"It is very scalable."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"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."
"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"The most valuable features for us are the monitoring, the health explorer, and the console."
"SCOM's most valuable features are the network path feature, reporting, and integration with business intelligence."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"Being able to make and customize management packs and send out notifications is very valuable."
"The most valuable features in SCOM are Azure monitoring and integration with Azure Monitor for monitoring Azure-hosted servers from SCOM on-premises."
"It is very good at monitoring Microsoft Server."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is the capability of using classes within your management pack development."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"Stability."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"The initial setup should be easier to complete."
"Regarding certain issues in the solution, it can be difficult to generate reports if we have a program that is not user-friendly for reporting. While this is not necessarily negative, we may need to use another solution."
"There are some negative points about this product. Sometimes, the capabilities of the software don't appear, and you can't directly see the results. You have to wait for a long period to refresh the policy to push it to the software or other patches."
"I would like to see better support for monitoring Unix-based systems."
"In terms of features that could be improved, I would say the agent integration into the operating system. We are having difficulties integrating Linux into some of the networking devices."
"In a future release, they should add email notification alerts."
"I would like to see more standard libraries for the market solutions, out of the box, that you don't need to do a lot of work on."
"I would like more customized reports. People should have some customization option on the dashboards for whenever they put multiple lists into it. Beyond customizing the content, there should be the ability to customize the colors so that they can engage some priority and mark challenges separately."
