"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"The biggest plus points for me are the configurability and scalability of the solution, as well as the multi-tenancy of the platform."
"The monitoring is the solution's most valuable feature."
"It is customer-centric. Customers can access the event list from their location or desktop and view the event. There is no need to go and connect to any other server and run events to have a view of all the events happening in the environment. We get a good response from customers about this feature and the main architecture of NetCool. Its processing is very good. Deduplication and correlation functionalities are good in this solution as compared to other solutions. A big advantage of NetCool is that it also supports multi-layered protocols. We can receive multiple events from different protocols like UDP, HTTP, and those events can be captured in NetCool."
"Probes are the best feature because they are well written which rarely requires you to write additional rules. These probes monitor activity within your environment."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"The most valuable feature is the event management capability."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"In the UMP, certain devices will show up multiple times and they don't correlate correctly. That's one of the issues."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"The web portal and typical event controls are a little outdated."
"I would like for the next release to be more user-friendly and out of date. The next release should focus on the cloud, AI, and ML technologies."
"The cost of the product is quite high. They should work to adjust their pricing models."
"Its integration could be better. They should provide an easier integration for all the monitoring stuff, and it will make things easier for us. Currently, there is a complexity in integrating it with a vendor application, and we have to use another tool to integrate it with a vendor application. To integrate some applications with NetCool, I need to install an IBM tool on top of it. It would be good if they can provide an API or any kind of interface that we can leverage while developing a new protocol interface or application. We should be able to use an API or interface with NetCool. Its GUI can also be better. As compared to other tools, it is not user friendly, and it is not easy to do stuff through GUI. Whenever we do anything on the GUI, it takes time. They need to focus on the GUI part, especially the dashboard. They should focus on how users can effectively drill down from one box to another. The visual appeal of the dashboard is as important as the data and functionality."
"There should be an easier-to-understand model, more of a flat-structured model rather than different tiers of licenses which complicates licensing."
"Its technical support team takes longer to reply."
