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

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes.""Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports.""What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product. The feature I found most valuable in the solution is the MCS feature, which is the automatic deployment of the objects you want to monitor. You can set up a system, for example, if it's a Windows machine and I want to test specific devices on it, I could do that through DX Unified Infrastructure Management. That type of deployment is very good because it means you won't miss any monitoring aspect on any server.""It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems.""Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features.""The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure.""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.""The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management Pros →

"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek is the ability to assign custom color codes to the different packets easily.""It's a solid piece of software. It's stable.""I believe the most crucial feature of OmniPeek search is the ability to sniff packets based on channel switching.""The most valuable feature of OmniPeek was the ability it gave us to see the connection procedure.""The most valuable features are the voice bot, which checks the quality of service for voice, and the expert view that gives me insight on what and where to troubleshoot.""The most valuable feature is OmniPeek is user-friendly."

More OmniPeek Pros →

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically.""We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators.""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.""It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console.""Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful.""Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc.""Stability.""We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management Cons →

"I would like to see the saving feature improved. We have had issues if you do not save your progress then you have to start from the beginning.""I am not using OmniPeek for automation, we only do manual testing. Automation testing is tedious to do. The automation should be more user-friendly. I have exposed some APIs but the usage is not user-friendly.""The solution's automation has room for improvement.""I don't see a clear roadmap in the future for improving this software.""I would like to see the tool work in an open environment the same as how it does in a closed environment.""Making it more clear on how to configure the filters, or really automating them, would be an improvement."

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 →

  • "The pricing for this solution could be improved, as it is a very expensive product."
  • "There are different types of licenses available."
  • "We have only purchased the add-on once and have not paid for any subsequent versions as it was too costly for us."
