Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service.""DX UIM is scalable.""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.""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.""The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure.""Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple.""It is easy to implement but requires good planning."

"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed.""The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors.""I'm not so familiar with the tool but I like the interaction of the console to the picture. Patching is the primary model I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks. So I have created a proof of concept environment and have been checking the available features.""Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable.""I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management.""I like the tool's incident response and security patching.""The security features are very valuable.""Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."

Cons
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically.""How we can get more native information from CA's solutions.""Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability.""We would like to see automatic network topology.""It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console.""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).""The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. ​"

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management Cons →

"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model.""The solution can give a lot of false positives.""Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based.""I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments.""Tanium’s scalability could be improved.""The solution lacks mobility.""The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities.""Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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 →

  • "There is an annual license required to use this solution."
  • "It's an expensive solution. It would be nice if the cost were lower."
  • "Tanium is a more expensive solution in Latin America than some of the competitors, such as BigFix."
  • "It is higher than some competitors in the market."
  • "The solution offers value for money."
  • "The solution is expensive but it's a good investment."
  • "The product's pricing differs from region to region depending on negotiations and the number of endpoints."
