Cons

More Dell CloudIQ Cons →

"The technical support does not bother to respond.""Regional product team support is not very good.""Integrations with other devices. I want to have a product that has full integration with my active directory so I can track user activity. I want to track my complete user activity, so I'm looking for a product to implement in the near future, which will have full integration with my network and active directory users. It became very difficult to track user activity.""The initial setup of WhatsUp Gold is a medium range of difficulty levels. However, if it is your first time it could be difficult.""Pricing is too high relative to how many devices we use. The price list is not linear to number of devices.""I might like to see a better interface in the future.""The pricing for this solution has gone up quite recently, which has led some of our customers to buy an alternative product.""I think there are a few bugs now. Although they give some resolution for this, we cannot share the network remotely because of our company policy."
