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

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution.""The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure.""Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function.""It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems.""Probe packages and probe deployment.""The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value.""I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment.""It is very scalable."

"The drafts are easy but what I like about Icinga is that there are many add-ons that you can download.""Icinga has multiple automation and integration features. There is an API for everything and a web UI for configurations. The APIs enable you to automate tasks in Icinga. We can also use plugins to talk to the API. The Icinga Director talks to a database in the background, and you can import settings from the CMDB to all systems in Icinga.""An affordable solution for small organizations to do basic network monitoring.""The value of Icinga is that it has hundreds of plugins, so it's really easy to monitor pretty much anything.""We have found the solution to be stable.""Icinga does the job and is fairly stable.""Macros and the ability to connect it to Google Maps are valuable features.""There's a module called Icinga Director, which helps us configure the product using an intuitive interface through clicks instead of creating a text configuration. It's very helpful for us."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful.""It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically.""The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process.""There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure.""The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes.""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.""The dashboards need to be improved.""The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. ​"

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management Cons →

"Icinga’s automation could be improved.""We have found some problems with Nagios, and support isn't very responsive.""Icinga is a complex solution that's hard to learn. It's a powerful product for monitoring, but new users will have a hard time figuring out what to do.""The tool currently fails to provide notifications to users.""I think the software is quite good, but we have had problems with getting it to recognize certain areas and amend certain checks, where we needed so we would have to create backend scripts for those checks. Though, being open source, it has the support to create backend scripts, it would be better to have these scripts in-built.""At this time, the layout of the website is a bit difficult. It should be more user-friendly for changing the background and logos.""The installation and configuration are very complex.""It needs Trap SNMP. I saw the documentation for Zabbix, that it has its own built-in product which handles SNMP traps, and there's nothing similar in Icinga or Nagios. I think this feature is most important for me."

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."

  • "The solution is free to use."
  • "The solution is cheap."
