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.

Comments: Featureful and still user friendly with Sunbird support
Pros:
Seamless integration with Sunbird support

#1 DCIM on the planet
Comments:
I'm a lifer at this point.
A thought that I had that may be of use would be to add some calculators to your website to drive additional traffic. Over the decades, I've very frequently used the various calculators on this site for many projects:

I've also recently come across these calculators, which look to be extremely useful:

I know it's not Sunbird's "usual" website traffic, but I also know that DC operators need these tools to make decisions, and perhaps hosting these types of tools would drive more traffic, and drive better engagement with and between your customers.
Pros:
That's a difficult question, but I think pragmatically the asset management feature so that I know where my stuff is. So many features have been added over the years, but the original core asset manager is the most useful, and honestly indispensable for DC operators.
Cons:
I know the product is not a BMS solution and likely never will be, but better integration with facilities items, including greater event handling and power info from HVAC and other facility items, would be a holy grail for me. Understanding the total health of my critical infrastructure, including events, statuses and equipment failures, from the floor map would be the "single pane of glass" that most DC operators are looking for.
Great Product!
Comments: As a manager of two Data Centers, my experience with Sunbird and their team of professionals has been nothing short of amazing. I would have been kicking myself had I pursed a replacement product!
Pros:
Sunbird DCIM is definitely a leader in this space. Their product fits our enterprise very well. Service and Support are both excellent and willing to go the extra step to make issues are addressed.
Cons:
I cannot honestly think of a con at the moment.
