Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"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."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"Technical support is great."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"The scanning procedure includes UDP ports which sets it apart from competitors."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its scripts. These scripts prove beneficial when security features may obscure or block connections. Nmap helps identify vulnerabilities across different systems, including web servers and various server types."
"The most valuable feature of the solution for security audits stems from the fact that it serves as a powerful tool with the ability to scan a large number of ports."
"It helps us secure the network infrastructure."
"It is a very user-friendly product."
"The most important function, according to me, is the capability to use some arguments in the scanning. The solution's capability to go figure and do a deep dive, discovering information on specific aspects."
"Nmap has a powerful command line tool and a set of diagnostic features."
"The best feature of Nmap is that it lets me see useful information about each endpoint in my entire network environment. For example, I can see every single connection of the network as well as each and every port."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"There could be a specific option to check non-pingable endpoints for the product."
"The solution should increase the number of features under a free license."
"It takes a bit of time to get familiar with the solution and its options."
"Nmap major operates through the CLI; there's no GUI component, and that's where the challenge is."
"They should deliver Playtech's username and password."
"Customization is not very user-friendly in Nmap."
"Since I started using Nmap, it has been completely based on the command prompt and I think it would help other users if they implemented a decent GUI as well."
"One of the drawbacks of the standard Nmap utility is that it does not come with a graphical user interface, unlike a number of other open-source alternatives such as Zenmap."
