Sunbird DCIM
What Is Sunbird DCIM?
Sunbird's DCIM is one of the few solutions on the market that focuses exclusively on two of the biggest and costliest challenges data center operators face: monitoring and operations. And unlike other DCIM providers, who offer overly complex, bloated and expensive software, Sunbird's solution is easy to deploy and use. It provides the ability to better manage assets, change and capacity; and also enables power monitoring, environmental monitoring and energy management.

Reviews of Sunbird DCIM
Sunbird and Power IQ #1
Comments: We know where we stand with real time metrics that I have tested to be 100 % accurate. Identifies the problem with detail right down to the cabinet level.
Pros:
Features, data and asset management is easy to use and when you have an issue your calling the leaders of the industry. Support is crucial to resolving any issues right away, not 5 to 10 days like others.
Cons:
Reports could be a little more detailed in my opinion.
Alternatives Considered:
Sunbird dcTrack and PowerIQ
Comments: Overall, the product is great/stable. Where we have challenges, the support team is always accessible and provides quality information.
Pros:
The asset tracking, visualization, and power/temperature monitoring are the biggest features we need. My favorite thing about the product/company is how accessible management is to escalate issues and the support organization. You work with the customer and that sells the product to me.
Cons:
We utilize tap cassettes at both data centers for our Corning patch panels. It would be awesome if we could trace both connections out of the tap cassettes, but that feature hasn't been integrated yet.
PowerIQ is admin's best friend, dcTrack is best to comfort revisors and auditors
Comments:
(x) Support is over-average
(x) new releases have a high quality, we always wait a few month until implementing a new release and in the last two years we never had an issue after a release upgrade
Pros:
New hardware devices are ready be monitored in seconds. Management of hundreds of hardware devices such PDUs and sensors lost it's complexity. PowerIQ superseded our Nagios Installation for all hardware-related devices. It becomes more and more our primary trap host.
Cons:
Compared to PowerIQ setup of dcTrack is complex. Integration of PowerIQ an dcTrack could be easier to use. (License) Price for integration of USVs into PowerIQ is definitely to high, as a result we do not monitore our several USVs via PowerIQ

Comments:
Overall I haven't regret that we choose Sunbird.
When I run into daily challenges (that often happens to me) your dedicated support team are ALWAYS there to find and help me with a solution. I'm 100% sure we wouldn't have gotten as a good support if we would have chose another DCIM tool for our Company
Also great that you are not shy to take a Teams calls if needed. that really apricated!
Pros:
It has a lot great features that are easy to use most of the way.
Cons:
The possibility to install racks with the U-numbers starting with the lowest number at the top. Right now you can only get a view, that doesn't integrate with the U-height you choose when installing in the rack.
