We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"​When devices are having performance issues, it proactively build dashboards which allow us to go and do health checks, and resolve problems before they become an issue.​""One of the most valuable features is the ease of use.""The out-of-the-box dashboards are valuable, in terms of being able to visualize performance data in ways that we haven't in the past.""It gave us one location, one place to do all of group administration, and to build dashboards, and device administration, inventory counts... it really reduced our overall administrative overhead.""The tool helps us understand network performance.""Scalability is the reason we bought the product to begin with. It was designed from the ground up for carrier-grade services, and we are in effect a MSP ourselves. So we were really interested in looking at something to be able to handle the multi-tenancy and scale as large as possible. This was the only solution that we really considered at that level.""Downloads and records are the most valuable features.""The ability to very quickly and graphically navigate around, being able to zoom in to a timeframe, apply it to all the other panels... are all very intuitive."

"The most useful feature is infrastructure monitoring including switches and servers.""One of the notable advantages is its ability to provide quick responses, especially in critical situations.""The most valuable feature is the interface and its ease of use.""It's a very complete product with a lot of functionality."

Cons
"When it goes through discovery, or whatever it is doing in the back-end that slows it down, sometimes we get some failures with it. ​""It seems like we escalate more than I would like to. If anything, they should look at how the tier support goes in place.""I'm not a fan of many extra features since they usually burden the software and reduce its reliability.""There are some areas in the technology right now, like with VMs, where we are lacking with our abilities to get inside the VM to monitor traffic within the machine.""I have mixed feeling about the scalability. I feel like there are things which are being put into UIM right now that are not being included in Performance Center that we need to see in Performance Center. We are kind of being driven to buy UIM, and I can't justify it.​""Since we are out of registered IP space, we are moving to ipv6 and we expect our vendors to move with us, and they have not delivered yet.""Policies could be improved.""The solution could improve the database model. It is also not very good because they have a lot of interconnections with other data sources, such as NFA and VNA."

"I would like to see additional modules included.""HPE Intelligent Management Center is a bit slow.""The integration with other network devices needs improvement.""One notable deficiency is the lack of online support for the product."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We were looking at other vendors in the marketplace for NetFlow, and CA just beat everybody else in price, cost, and the size to implement. ​"
  • "Do your homework and know how many devices you will be managing out of the gate. Be sure to project what your growth will be each year."
  • "They should provide more scalable licensing for the product."
  • "I like the licensing model because it's device-based."
  • "We purchase a license to use the solution every three years and we have multiple contracts. They have been increasing the price annually. We have a baseline for three years and then we need to pay the difference from the baseline, and we are in the process of negotiating a new price for all the licenses we need. The price overall is affordable."
  • "The tool's pricing is based on the number of network devices."

  • "There are licensing costs and they are quite expensive."
  • "The price of this solution is not at all cheap, but it's reasonable compared to SolarWinds."
