More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment.""Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports.""It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems.""The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts.""MultiWAN and Balance service""Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics.""DX UIM is scalable.""The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management Pros →

"I use it on premises to monitor my network database. We monitor the link up/down and use the SNMP traps as well.""We no longer have to manually search for problems because we are alerted when something in the network goes down.""The installation and configuration process are easy.""It is stable.""It handles the basics of monitoring.""The threshold alerting is the most valuable feature.""The interface in the last few years it has been a lot greater, they are much more user-friendly.

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement.""The technical support needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"The company has not kept pace with developments.""We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue.""Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc.""Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability.""We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators.""Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful.""The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. ​""The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management Cons →

"The point system is not clear and clarity around this would improve our understanding of the system.""Importing the maps and being able to customize them could be easier.""We can never achieve or get a good picture of the network topology.""One of the biggest things that made us start to look at another product is we're not able to have an end to end monitoring from a user perspective throughout the system and back to the user. All the monitoring is from inside out, we need something that also can give us from outside in.""The pricing for this solution has gone up quite recently, which has led some of our customers to buy an alternative product.""I think there are a few bugs now. Although they give some resolution for this, we cannot share the network remotely because of our company policy.""I would like to see them do an enhancement to the application monitoring. A lot of other products do better application monitoring so they should do some improvements to the application monitoring.""You have to invest a few days to become an expert in this solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
  • "The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
  • "The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
  • "Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
  • "CAD $400,000 annually."
  • "Customers pay for the license and the support."
  • "Pricing for DX Unified Infrastructure Management isn't cheap at all. It's a complex tool, so you have to pay more. No one is happy with a large bill to pay, but if it's a complex product and you designed a complex solution to be monitored, it'll be your fault that you need to buy an expensive product, and that would be implicit in the design of DX Unified Infrastructure Management. Monitoring is just a small part of it. Sometimes you have to pay a significant amount of money for a complex yet very good solution."
  • More DX Unified Infrastructure Management Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing is reasonable compared to other products."
  • "I'm not sure, but it's expensive. We don't pay any additional fees."
  • "The choice of version depends on the number of points, or devices, that you want to monitor, and this makes the product expensive."
  • "The pricing can be on the expensive side when considering competing products."
  • "There are some subscription charges that are quite heavy. I need to pay for support every year and these charges can be quite expensive. Aside from the initial cost for the tool, you need to pay additionally for support."
  • "It is per device, per year. The pricing is very clear. If you have a service agreement, you get all of your major upgrades and minor upgrades. It was under $10,000 to go all-in with all of the different add-ons for it."
  • "The most valuable feature is the cost compared to other solutions."
  • "This is a well priced solution."
