Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Actionable insight is the most valuable feature.""DX allows you to customize and gives you a high degree of control.""It supports numerous platforms."

More DX SaaS Pros →

"The solution has reduced the time it takes to resolve issues.""It is a very stable product with regular security and feature updates.""The solution’s visualizations are very good. It's very easy to use them... We can give our senior managers, our directors, and our partners a dashboard at a very high level. They can very easily start to drill down by clicking through the dashboard and find stuff that doesn't look right. And our technical teams can use the same thing to identify problems in specific locations.""With this solution we are able to link issues to automatic actions that will solve the problem.""Number of service incidents dropped by more than 20%.""The search engine functionality that Nexthink has on the finder is terrific.""The solution is stable.""I would rate the solution's stability a nine out of ten."

More Nexthink Pros →

Cons
"Old user interface and dashboards could be improved.""The ability to scale presents a challenge as the cost of handling vast amounts of data in the cloud must be taken into account.""DX SaaS is a latecomer to the APM market. Some things that are straightforward in Dynatrace are complicated in DX. For example, upgrading the agents is a seamless process in Dynatrace, but it's a pain in DX SaaS. You should be able to upgrade in the Application Command Center. However, it is not working correctly."

More DX SaaS Cons →

"We need some guidance from the Nexthink team on some of the new features they are releasing and how best to use them.""Nexthink could have better integration with ITSM tools - at the moment, they only integrate with ServiceNow, so adding other tools, like HP SMAX, would be very useful.""The solution could provide more training. There should be proper documentation on the solution because even for small issues we have needed to reach out to the support team. The person who is doing all the administration work should have the proper information, but the problem is the documentation is lacking. There is no proper training or documentation available. Nexthink is holding all the information. We want to learn, but you can not without the information.""The initial setup needs technical knowledge.""The next release could use some improvement in the tools that are provided.""We have provided them feedback on a few changes we would like to see with how alerting can work. Rather than have somebody looking at the network, if network utilization goes above a certain point, it would be helpful if the solution issued an alert to the right people.""The solution could use better automation and less coding. Since I am part of the administrative background, I'm not completely into the development side. I'm not well versed in coding.""The tool should improve its pricing and performance. It also have nothing related to patch management."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Our monthly cost for DX SaaS is approximately $5 per user, which I considered affordable."
  • More DX SaaS Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Nexthink can pay for itself quickly if you identify and complete the most valuable use cases. The tool can do so much that to purely compare the price in a static way to other tools in your arsenal would be a mistake. If you do a more dynamic comparison that’s based on the overall functionality and use cases possible then it comes out cheaper. You need to consider it a relative measurement against potential use cases, size of the organization, maturity of organization, etc."
  • "With this implementation of the Act and Engage module, I believe that there is a one-time fee for a two-month period, which is for the support team to make additional customizations."
  • "I have seen it help improve the user experience scores. This helped clients to save costs on another tool that they were trying to deploy in order to improve the user experience by just deploying some scripts. We were able to identify the issues and help them remediate those using our help. The process does not take much time and it provided background on end user performance. Therefore, they were able to save a lot, e.g., for approximately 50,000 endpoints at two dollars per machine per year, that is about $100,000 in savings."
  • "There are certain layers when it comes to pricing. The product has three layers and these layers are associated with certain sources. For example, the top layer have the premium services and the bottom layer has the basic services."
  • "I would rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten. The tool's pricing model is pay-as-you-use."

    Overview

    Dx SaaS is a solution whose goal is to ensure that businesses and organizations can monitor and manage the way that users experience their applications. This solution contains many powerful tools that are designed to give administrators the maximum amount of control over the experiences that clients have when employing their applications. Organizations and businesses can rest easily and ensure that the product they put out into the world is always being watched for potential issues that will be resolved proactively and quietly.

    Dx SaaS Benefits

    Some of the benefits that come from using Dx SaaS include:

    • Improve the overall experience of your users at all stages of their journey. Dx SaaS provides administrators with the ability to cull proactive insights into not only the actual performance of the application, but also the way that users are experiencing the application. This makes it possible for administrators to address pain points before they can become major issues.
    • Full visibility across all aspects of the application. Dx SaaS enables organizations to see what is going on in every part of their applications. Every aspect of the application is fully visible to them. They can keep track of both users and their IT infrastructure without having to rely on other solutions.
    • Run Dx SaaS flexibly. Users can run Dx SaaS from their premises, investing in hardware and software, if they so wish. Alternatively, users can run Dx SaaS as a pure SaaS-based solution if that is a better fit for their needs.

    Dx SaaS Features

    When users choose to employ the DX SaaS solution, they gain access to many different capabilities. These features include:

    • Relationship mapping capabilities. Users can visually represent all of the parts of the application and their relationships. This can aid administrators in understanding precisely how their applications, architecture, and networks operate.
    • Customizable dashboards. Administrators can build dashboards that are most suited to meet their needs, fine-tuning them to perform the analysis and functions that are most relevant to their objectives.
    • Root-cause analytical capability. DX SaaS makes it possible for users to find the causes of any and all issues that arise. Its analytical capabilities scan for anomalies and find issues early on. This gives administrators and IT professionals insights that enable them to keep applications running optimally.

    Reviews from Real Users

    The DX SaaS solution enables companies and organizations to take charge of the digital experiences that their customers receive. It is designed in a way that empowers these companies to truly monitor their applications and maintain a positive user experience. DX SaaS recognizes that applications can be run on any number of platforms. As a result, solutions that monitor and analyze applications need to be capable of handling a wide variety of platforms. This is one of the considerations that the solution’s designers made integral to its design.

    Administrators can leverage DX SaaS to spot potential issues before they can become problems for the users of their applications. DX SaaS has metrics that can provide application administrators with important insights. Patterns and areas where trouble can arise are immediately exposed so that administrators can take the steps that are necessary for the applications to run smoothly.

    A consultant at a technical services company writes, “It supports numerous platforms.” Furthermore, they add, “The CA APM blaming metrics are quite useful in identifying a potential issue.

    About the Nexthink Experience

    Nexthink aims to eliminate the barriers to a better digital experience by accelerating innovation across all endpoints. How does Nexthink work?\

    • Analyze: Nexthink captures and visualizes event-level data so the user can be on top of connection failures, application crashes, and software installs. Nexthink Analyze also gives the user the ability to correlate employee sentiment with technical metrics. Those metrics can be quantified, and the user can improve employee sentiment through the given score.
    • Act: Using an extensive catalog of one-click, automated actions, users can fix common IT issues and give their support desk the ability to resolve incidents remotely. In addition to automated fixes, users can install software and update critical services quickly through customized remediation scripts.
    • Engage: IT teams engage in a two-way communication tool to help with submitted tickets. With an attention-grabbing notification, employees will become aware of critical information and can then fix problems more quickly.
    • Integrate: Personalize and enhance your business and IT processes with a large range of integrations and connectors. Users can import and export data, optimize ITSM solutions, authorize employee chatbot self-healing, and enhance Service Desk efficiency.
    • Application Experience: Users can combine Real User Monitoring and Digital Employee Experience to gain the visibility and actionability needed to manage these applications properly.
