COMMENTS: Easy to get reports and see overall health of the data center in one page. Get the ease of knowing how our data center is running at a glance. Can keep track of assets throughout the organization without having to physically go to each asset.
PROS: Can set up and change settings easily without a lot of going back and forth through screens, which I had to do with other DCIM tools. Easy to navigate for the end user without needing a lot of training.
CONS: Depending on the manufacturer of an add on device, I needed to purchase another interface to allow this to read the power.

COMMENTS: We were able to do precise monthly charge-backs to clients for colocation services which was crucial to the client agreement. We have nice historical views of power usage as well for all our sites using intelligent rack PDUs and we even connected the DCIM to our power and cooling infrastructure for alert monitoring benefits. Sunbird DCIM products are user friendly and very scalable for large or small datacenter deployments!
PROS: Pricing was clear cut and scaled easily with license packs as needed. The tools are very intuitive and user friendly. We were up and running, tracking power in a few days.
CONS: Don't have many cons. We've used the product for a few years now and it's a stable and reliable tool for our datacenter management team.

"Deploying devices is so much easier to perform"

COMMENTS: Deploying devices is so much easier to perform with 100% accuracy. It organizes and centralizes information and it greatly aids in MACD.
PROS: The many visualizations such as device, cabinet and floor plan (including 3D) are quite valuable to me. With the cabinet views, I can "see" the best areas to place equipment within a cabinet without the need to be physically on site. Device views allow me to "show" installers where exactly the various device ports are located so they connect data cables correctly. The floor plan allows me to estimate distances so I can order cables of proper length. All of these views are invaluable to me since I support remote data centers.
CONS: That I still need to access Classic View to perform some functions.
RECOMMENDATIONS: To be able to access data panel port information from the GUI is great and I cannot wait for functions like Lists and Connectors to be moved there too.
