"The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."
"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."

"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The PNP4Nagios plugin not working easily with XI is an issue for me, because some open source monitoring plugins do not work out of the box. But in the end, you learn to live with it."
"The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
