Pros
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"I recall the initial setup being straightforward.""It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems.""The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value.""Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles.""Probe packages and probe deployment.""It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable.""MultiWAN and Balance service""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."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management Pros →

"When we have mobile operators who are signal partners, where one is the roaming host and another is the roamer, we are able to see their traffic. Their packets are able to detect if any faults to develop, and at what point they fail.""It has cut our troubleshooting down by days. Once we have a product in place, we show people examples of how it can streamline their troubleshooting process.""The most valuable features are speed and cost.""It is very rock solid. We hardly have any hardware issues.""It allows us to get quicker resolutions. We can see exactly what is using up the bandwidth, so we can assist end users.""The technical support is really good. They will go above and beyond, if you are running into a problem. You can go to a sales engineer, who will engage technical support to help you out.""We use it for monitoring whenever we update a new circuit or site.""I love the single pane of glass view. It makes it easier to not have to navigate everywhere. It allows more simplistic visibility, without having to go from tool to tool to tool, or from window to window to window."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console.""How we can get more native information from CA's solutions.""The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes.""Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability.""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.""We've had issues with pulling reports.""Stability.""There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management Cons →

"We don't use the single pane of glass view, even though we own it.""The monitoring and reporting tool needs improvement. Users want more information, such as the level of detail when doing a packet analysis. They want more detail to be able to isolate down to a specific point.""Only problems that we have had are fiber issues going into the TAPs or vSTREAMs, which are usually local site issues.""It's not able to communicate with our probes.""I would like to see an improved level of stitching between IPs.""The scalability has some limitations and quirks to it. I would like to be able to upgrade rather than replace the whole thing.""I'd like them to make the product more user-friendly.""Being able to manage the packet flow switches in nGeniusONE would be great."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "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."
  • More DX Unified Infrastructure Management Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "To capture more with the solution that we bought, you have to buy another InfiniStreamNG, and there are only four ports in the back."
  • "The scalability is good, but it comes at a cost. E.g., if you need 100 InfiniStream because you are sending gigs or terabytes of data to one InfiniStream, then you will have to purchase another InfiniStream, which are not cheap."
  • "It can be scalable. It just costs too much. With a company as big as ours, it gets too expensive to accommodate every single site."
  • "This product could be cheaper."
  • "The price is a little high."
  • "I would like it to be more scalable with less spend."
