We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts.""It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server.""It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions""You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product.""Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service.""It is very scalable.""Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that.""The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."

"I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring.""Offers a diversity of features."

Cons
"The company has not kept pace with developments.""We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators.""Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to.""Stability.""I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time.""The dashboards need to be improved.""I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts.""Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."

"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there.""I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
  • "The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
  • "The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
  • "Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
  • "CAD $400,000 annually."
  • "Customers pay for the license and the support."
  • "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."
