My understanding is the solution is expensive. I'm not 100% sure of the exact pricing. 

I rate the licensing cost a ten out of ten. It is affordable.

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.

Buy what you need. The product is worth every bit of its cost.

Because I don't know the bottom line, I'd say it was a very good investment that we made.

For us, while the base price is the same, we are moving device types and are in the process of negotiating costs with Broadcom. 

They have a price for MSPs and also for services. We are trying to reduce the cost. However, with UIM, we are not using unlimited as we're trying to negotiate with NetOps. We have a baseline for a three-year contract.

Generally, it is an affordable option. I'd rate the product four out of five in terms of cost.

Licensing model and packaging:

Server pack - Charged per server.
Server and application pack - Charged per server.
Service response time advanced pack - charged per site.
Ping pack - Charged per device.
Network advanced pack - Charged per device.
Flow analysis - Charged per device.
Storage pack - Charged per terabyte.
Ecometer pack - Charged per device.

The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots. I advise customers to be selective with which probes to deploy on the different servers.

Pricing is one of the lowest for such a product in the market. If you have an experienced tools administrator you may want to go with this product over any other market product considering the cost efficiency.

 I believe we pay around CAD $400,000 per year. It's a pay per consumption fee. 

It is definitely not the cheapest on the market, but you can save a lot of money by carefully making a list of which probes you actually need and how many of them are required.

Often probes can monitor multiple instances or are included in other packs, so you don’t have to purchase them separately. Make sure to be precise. Your CA representative can assist you with that.

I don’t handle the contract negotiation, but expect this isn’t Open Source so expect to pay for an Enterprise Monitoring solution. I’m a firm believer of “you get what you pay for” with almost everything. I’m a fan of Open Source tools for specific solutions, but a large multi-tenant environment needs an Enterprise solution.

You should always send your number of devices and other relevant information to a representative partner or CA directly, because CA UIM has some differentiated methods depending on what you have in your infrastructure, but they provide you with the correct questions so that you have the needed amount of licenses.

Licensing costs are reasonable and affordable. 

We have over 10,000 client systems monitored and negotiated a package deal.

The setup cost was quite low because we started with few customers and then we’ve built our services and customer base from that.

Make sure you have good support and what SLA is included.

I think the price of licensing is very accessible, considering the functionalities of the product. The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall.

If you have a large scale deployment or resell services and have a dedicated administrator with java dev experience, pricing may be suitable for you. CA is one of the more expensive solutions, and not one of the best in its category.

Customers pay for the license and the support.

Since we provide services using the CA UIM platform, I would say that for a partner they have a very strong pricing approach.

I found the product to be cost effective and licensing is not complex.

The pricing and licensing is acceptable. This is a very good product for small and medium size organizations.

Licensing has a lot of wiggle-room.

This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine).

No idea.

Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices.

It is not the cheapest solution, but it has competitive prices.
