Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is very easy to add devices; just be aware that it requires SNMP to be enabled.""One feature I like about CA Performance Management is the certification of the devices.""There is a good amount of vendor certification which comes with the product. That's all factory-loaded, no need to load any custom-made files. Most of the metrics are calibrated and captured from the devices based on the defaults available from vendor certification.""You can have thousands of devices inside and hundreds of thousands of interphases without a problem.""The tool helps us understand network performance.""​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.​""You can create intelligent alerts so you have enough time to replace the router or interface before it's full. The same is applicable for CBQoS channels.​""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."

"Topology creation is the most valuable feature.""A good enterprise-level solution.""Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults.""If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes.""You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration.""It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks.""The platform has good stability.""Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."

Cons
"This solution's implementation process could be quicker. They could also optimize the hardware requirements.""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.""I would like to have more tasks, graphs, and possibilities for linking to the graphs and reports added to the solution.""For CA PM, there should be a way of easily migrating the reports coming from eHealth going to CA Performance Center, since CA PC is replacing eHealth.""It seems like we escalate more than I would like to. If anything, they should look at how the tier support goes in place.""Some of the individual report views, the way some of the columns sort, there's room for improvement in giving us more flexibility in being able to sort reports based, for example, on what columns the metrics fall under.""I think it would be helpful having a more comprehensive set of certifications so that I could natively deploy devices to my environment and the tool would immediately recognize and immediately be able to provide relevant performance information without a lot of tuning on my part.""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."

More DX Performance Management Cons →

"Only to improve the GUI.""The solution should integrate with NAC servers.""They should add AI options in the product's next release.""Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive.""When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained.""The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement.""The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly.""Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."

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."
