The deployment was extremely smooth. Installation was fast and simple. Configuration was mostly straight-forward with some hiccups where the documentation did not match the current release of probes.

One thing to note with this product is that in my experience, when configured and spec’d out correctly, CA UIM is very stable and fully scalable.

Scalability and security comes from a hub-based architecture. Hubs can be scaled horizontally and vertically, and can connect across DMZs or similar secure zones via the use of UIM application-layer SSL tunnels.

The internal UIM agent deployment mechanisms aren’t necessarily suitable for enterprise customers. With the use of BladeLogic or similar software deployment tools, it becomes a very easy and uneventful process. One thing to bear in mind is that the Unix agents are required to be installed as root, or root-equivalent, user to avoid potential issues.

No deployment issues encountered.

There was no issue with the deployment.

During deployment, not many issues.

There's been no issues with deployment on my end.

We've had no issues with deployment.

We've had no issues with deployment.

I have not encountered any deployment, stability or scalability issues. It is very stable.

I have deployed the product in multiple environments and across multiple OS types without issue. The deployment can be as small as one or two servers, or can scale up very well for large distributed deployments.

There were no issues with the deployment.

I’ve been working with the product for a long time and have a lot of experience with deployment, so I didn’t have any issues. I do recommend that Professional Services be engaged in all but the smallest deployments. I’ve heard of many environments not being designed for scalability and deployed by the customer that had to be completely rebuilt due to a lack of knowledge on the product. Aspire Technical Professionals has a solid track record of successful large CA UIM deployments.

Not really

No problems at all so far with deployment, but you just need to follow the documentation carefully.

There were no issues with deploying it.

None, but of course you need basic knowledge about the infrastructure elemets that you want to monitor, and for which ones you want to deploy probes.

It has been close to three years that the product has been deployed in our environment and serving us well in order to monitor the complete server based infrastructure. We recently upgraded from v6.5, and have had no issues.

There have been no issues with deploying it.

We'd had no issues with deployment.

Certain sites have very secure environments, and you must then setup rules so that the product can still communicate and function in the customized environment.

Certain probes require heavy knowledge on a specific technology before it can start working.

There are no issues if you are well prepared.

No issues installing the product.

We've had no issues with deployment.

There were some issues.

Yes we did but its part and parcel of monitoring products but by far its the most stable one i have come across.

We've had no issues with deployment.

Deployment was straightforward.

It depends on the version.

Minimal, if any.

It requires a very skilled team to be able to deploy that application, and if you don’t invest in training and don’t go over a long training period, you might find it difficult to deploy.

Most of the time all goes well. Sometimes (very rare) in a complex network with lots of firewalls a communication issue with robots can occur and it's not always easy to diagnose the cause.

Yes, at the first time of implementation, we encountered many issues with the tool, all due to a wrong configuration of the disks on database server.

We've had no issues with deployment.

It has deployed without problems for us.

No. There was not too much trouble during deployment. The solution is segregated into three layers: application, web portal, and database.

Various low level issues with scaling. Not a topic that CA offer much assistance or real-world experience on.

No problems; it’s easy to deploy and manage.

We've had no issues with deployment.

Deployment hasn't been an issue.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

The deployment is very user friendly over updates.

Documentation is lacking and Nimsoft's support (before being bought by CA) was lacking.

WASP failed to start on time.

Communication errors with most of the servers.
