Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"You can have thousands of devices inside and hundreds of thousands of interphases without a problem.""Downloads and records are the most valuable features.""One feature I like about CA Performance Management is the certification of the devices.""It is very easy to add devices; just be aware that it requires SNMP to be enabled.""What is most useful is visibility.""It is the gathering of the whole performance data in our environment and our network environment, for us and our customers.""There is another component of the tool called Network Flow Analysis. It gives us the ability to troubleshoot issues which do not appear right away.""My sales representative, I would not trade him in for the world. He has done a really good job. I am really happy with him.​"

"When compared with SolarWinds, it is more user-friendly, and tasks can be completed more quickly.""Pushing the network configuration to bulk devices. This saves a considerable amount of time that the engineer spends in pushing the network configuration."

Cons
"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.""The quantity of views which are tied to specific metric families is too high. Also, the problem is the view doesn't tell you which metric family it uses, so you don't know why you don't see data.""Policies could be improved.""I would like to have more tasks, graphs, and possibilities for linking to the graphs and reports added to the solution.""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.""We experience disconnections between the solutions own components.""It needs role-based administration."

"Compatibility of the devices needs to be enhanced, as it seems to be limited.""Level one administration task can be defined in Micro Focus Network Automation but it could be more simplified."

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."

  • "Pricing is reasonable, but if you compare it with other network Operation Management tools that are available on the market, it's expensive."
