"Can be completely customised to suit your needs"
Andrew Curtis - Senior Engineer, Data Centre Operations
COMPANY:
Paddy Power Betfair
COMPANY TYPE:
Entertainment
# OF EMPLOYEES:
N/A
SOFTWARE USAGE:
Less than 6 months
OVERALL QUALITY:
LIKELIHOOD TO RECOMMEND:
Extremely Likely
COMMENTS: Very easy to use.
PROS: Any part of it can be completely customised to suit your needs, especially aspects such as the Dashboards in both dcTrack and PowerIQ. This provides us with great levels of detail and monitoring of our Data Centres.
CONS: We had certain "Workarounds" in place, in particular cabling between devices, compared to our original DCIM tool. But as mentioned above, Sunbird Support are very helpful. If you need something changed, then a Feature Request can be raised so Sunbird can look at adapting the tool.

"I'm excited to get to work everyday because I know I'm going to be working with dcTrack!"
Dennis Hayslip - Project Manager

Lockheed Martin
COMPANY TYPE:
Defense & Space
# OF EMPLOYEES:

COMMENTS: The capability to utilize a single database to not only manage our data center racked assets but to also integrate with our incident and change management tool.
PROS: The support from Sunbird is beyond excellent. They're very quick to respond to inquiries and are always willing to provide whatever help we need. The 3D visualization is awesome and uploading asset details is easy. I especially like the custom fields feature because I can add data unique to our data center.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Would like the capability to create drop-down select lists that auto-fill additional/relative fields such as Systems Administrator name and the contact information (email, desk/cell phone and manager details).

"Great tool for place and power planning, documentation of assets, data and power connections"
Rob Hansen - Engineer II Data Center Infrastructure Systems
COMPANY:
Comcast
COMPANY TYPE:
Telecommunications
# OF EMPLOYEES:
10,001+ employees
SOFTWARE USAGE:
2+ years
OVERALL QUALITY:
LIKELIHOOD TO RECOMMEND:

COMMENTS: Use it daily to document Data Center Power. Previously used it to document Data Center cabinets, assets, data and power connections, structured cabling. It is our source of truth for what's in the Data Centers and monitoring tool for temperature issues
PROS: dcTrack is easy to use in that setting it up to model a data center follows the physical process of actually setting up a data center. Using it to maintain documentation of assets' placement, data and power connections is easy and logical. It also provides for great monitoring of power utilization and temperature/humidity with its integration with Power IQ. And the customer support is excellent! You are treated like a partner.
CONS: dcTrack is mostly web-based but part of the functionality remains in an application called Classic View. This functionality is being migrated piece by piece, and a lot of it is accessible now from the web client. We look forward to the day when we no longer need to use Classic View as it is quite slow and it cannot be re-sized to see all of it at once without scrolling.
