### "Invaluable tool for managing a lights out data center."

January 29, 2021

5.0

I am glad we have the software and grateful that our data center manager keeps it updated. I have also had favorable experiences with Sunbird support.

Pros

The user interface and flow to find information is extremely easy.

Cons

What I like least is having to use it because I use it primarily to locate gear for repair, and in my world repair means we are having an outage.

### "Great customer service "

August 6, 2020

4.0

Pros

I think one of the best features of this is the visualizations of our physical sites. Sometimes getting a look in to the facility or a top down view helps in planning

Cons

We are still in the process of fulling brining the system up to speed. I think there is room for improvement on making the UI to integrate dcTrack & PowerIQ better

April 3, 2023

5.0

Still in the implementation, we started with dcTrack and are on the way to integrate powerIQ, but all the users of the product are enthousiast!

Pros

Easy integration and Friendly user interface.

Cons

ServiceNow integration could be enhanced with a GUI instead of xml configuration

### "Trial period "

August 28, 2020

5.0

Pros

The software appears to offer most of the functionality we are looking for to bring our numerous requirements into a single point of view and allow for detailed analysis and reporting.

Cons

Have not found anything at this point. Perhaps the only downside is the work involved in setup.

### "Total solution ... "

June 2, 2020

5.0

In-rack asset inventory Source of Truth.

Pros

The 3D visualization is by far what I like most about the software. It allows a view into a facility without the need for actual presence.

Cons

It has a fairly steep learning curve, but given the depth of features and functions, this is to be expected.

Thank you for the positive review. Our customers and measured data helped us create 3D Visualization that is "better than being there".

July 2, 2018

Pros

### "Great DCIM tool"

August 7, 2020

4.0

Pros

Easy to use and administer Very good documentation Great support

Cons

5 licenses for floor ups is excessive in my opninion

Review Source

Response from Sunbird

August 14, 2020

Thank you for the positive feedback. I will look into the the ups license. The thinking was that a floor UPS is more that 5 times the cost of a rack pdu plus you typically only have far few UPSs.

### "Good, but ew need trainign on what else it can do for us."

June 17, 2016

5.0

I inherited this product from a colleague that has left the company, so I am not sure of the capabilities of the software, and if we can integrate it with our other data center products, both from Raritan as well as APC.

Pros

The ability to see all of our PDUs in a single screen.

Cons

It doesn't do an automatic log in to the PDU when I click the link for the PDU. It would be nice if it stored the log in information and logged me in automatically.

Response from Sunbird

December 16, 2019

Thank you for your positive feedback. All plugins are now free!. Many people say we are the most multi-vendor solution. We support APC, Raritan, Server Tech, Geist, CPI and more. You can perform single sign-on with your Raritan PDUs. See full list http://addons.sunbirddcim.com/

### "Great DCIM Tool"

June 20, 2016

5.0

I am an implementation partner for Sunbird. I love working with their product. They make it very easy to load data from spreadsheets and quickly stand up an instance of the tool with the client's data.

Pros

Installs very clean. The OS and database are all packaged and installed as a VM. The developers listen to your feedback and are constantly updating the software. I have always received great support from their staff.

### "Datacenter inventory"

May 13, 2019

4.0

Pros

I reviewed Sunbird for demo purposes. I can say the product is actually successful. But as the number of insufficient support team in Turkey. The most successful aspect

Cons

As the number of insufficient support team in Turkey.

Review Source

Response from Sunbird

December 16, 2019

Thank you for the positive review. We support Turkey with a local partner named Valen. They are a very good at service and support. Maybe you connected to our USA support via our portal. I will remind them that they can also leverage Valen. We also have have an SE Manager that speaks Turkish. He previously worked at Telcoset in Turkey and moved to the USA to work for us.

### "Much better than our former product, Nlyte - don't buy that...."

July 27, 2018

4.0

Pros

Customer Support has awesome response time. dctrack and power iq are laid out in a logical way and just work

Cons

Would like to be able to "tweak" and handle more custom configuration, but the out of the box stuff is really pretty good.

### "Solid offering for a DCIM solution"

June 5, 2019

4.0

Improved single point of management for asset management, warranty management, finding a server on the data center floor, mapping single points of failures at a hardware layer, work flow management, and others.

Pros

Visualization, Capacity add recommendations, reporting. Solid search options.

Cons

Lots of spreadsheet (CSV) importing to make mass changes, seems like that should be part of the gui. Flash is still part of the solution.

Response from Sunbird

October 18, 2019

Thank you for the positive review. Release 7.0 is available now and it does not contain any "flash". 7.0 is an easy self installing upgrade.

### "Sunbird or PowerIQ Software"

June 30, 2016

5.0

The reason we bought this Sunbird or PowerIQ software because we want to be able to manage and monitor all of the OOB products (competitor). Once we have this software setup, test and we try to added all the OOB product by configured SNMP, but some brand and model like Raritan and Avocent can be mornitor but not all other products.

Pros

It would be nice, if Sunbird or PowerIQ software can both work on Windows and Linux platform. Sunbird only can monitor specific OOB products that listed on the products lists.

Cons

The least about this software is not all OOB products can be monitors.
