Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tools monitor, measure, manage and/or control data center resources and energy consumption of both IT-related equipment (such as servers, storage and network switches) and facilities infrastructure components (such as power distribution units and computer room air conditioners). They are data-center-specific (they are designed for data center use), rather than general building management system tools, and are used to optimize data center power, cooling and physical space. Solutions do not have to be sensor-based, but they do have to be designed to accommodate real-time power and temperature/environmental monitoring. They must also support resource management, which Gartner defines as going beyond typical IT asset management to include the location and interrelationships between assets.

"How Cormant Stands as a Benchmark for other DCIM Providers"
From start to finish the vendor has been exceptional in everything, initial presentation of the product, product features and navigation. Explained the model and pricing structure up front. Is exceptional in support all the time, very responsive and always follows through. I have worked with many vendors and Cormant, surpasses all of them in vendor support and customer satisfaction. Implementation of the product was seamless and with Cormant customer support we were live within one day. However, we are now in the development stage, and support was right there guiding us through the initial set up from the data provided to them. Cormant provided initial training and documentation to help with the development. Pros: Seamless set up, user friendly interface, very intuitive design to quickly develop data structure, easy report generation, fully customizable including addition of templates, attributes and icon groups to make design of your DCIM to have the look and feel of the physical data center. Dashboards are quick and straight forward to be set up and used for any progress reporting. There are many other features that make Cormant DCIM top on the list. Pricing levels include the entire product and no need to buy separate modules to achieve your DCIM goals. Cons: I can think of very few that can be compared to other products, maybe as with most DCIM tools there is a small learning curve, however, with Cormant this in easily solved with a dedicated Administrator.

"Energy and Physical infrastructure Efficiency"
SmartZone has brought us much more control in our data center and we now have an idea of where we sit as far as "end of life" on all of our equipment. When our vendors ask us questions regarding length of ownership, power usage, and location for our equipment, we simply use our SmartZone DCIM. Our Panduit representative was extremely helpful throughout the installation process. We are showing a reduction in our cooling costs, energy savings, and we have much easier MACS.
"EcoStruxure IT Advisor - A MUST Have for Customers with Enterprise Infrastructure"
Our Schneider team , supporting out EcoStruxure IT Advisor and Data Center Expert environments have been fantastic from day one! Representative was previously using a disjointed DCIM solution, and in some cases - spreadsheets. Our implementation of IT Advisor (formerly Data Center Operation) and Data Center Expert at our premier site has been invaluable from a data collection and troubleshooting perspective. Team has even put representative in front of the product teams to provide direct feedback and it has been great to see some of that implemented over the course of IT Advisor iterations.
"OPI Gives DCIM a Different Spin with More Flexibility"
While relatively new, they understood the challenges and importance of the desired design we wanted when they designed the software. Communication connectivity between multiple systems was so simple to implement versus other packages.
