"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.""I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes.""It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions""It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems.""You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product.""It is reliable when it comes to monitoring.""We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution.""It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."

Cons
"We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities.""The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved.""The dashboard needs to improve."

More Avantra Cons →

"The dashboards need to be improved.""We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue.""The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes.""CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth).""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 company has not kept pace with developments.""We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level.""We've had issues with pulling reports."

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."
