Densify Initial Setup

Initial setup was straightforward, however our typical deployment uses automation to build out servers. This install is not automation friendly. We have not had to reinstall on these servers, other than patches and upgrades, so this hasn't been a huge issue.

The initial setup was really point and click. We didn't have any setup issues at all. Once you put your private keys and passwords in, it grabs the data. Again, we're pretty intimate with the tool, but it's very straightforward.

Both. I think set up of the application and the system itself was straightforward. Connection to the data sources was a little bit more complex getting everything there and then. It's the configuration aspect which I think will take probably six months or so to get sorted. That's not a problem, we entered it with open eyes.

No, it was very straightforward.

We had preparation for our deployment, some planning sessions, and everything went just as expected. It was very straightforward.

Initially, the setup seemed to be complex. It was demanding to set up policies having broad visibility into multiple factors relating to each others' entities.

IT Architect at a tech company with 10,001+ employees

Overall, the Densify solution was very simple from my perspective because we didn't have to do much to implement it. We just needed one small server to install the Densify connector which holds the data, and the other thing is we needed was the correct permissions given to certain users. And the connectivity has to be there with Densify's back end infrastructure, but that's the part and parcel of any environment. But if we had gone with, say, a VMware product then we would have had a lot of difficulty or a lot of challenges and problems implementing the solution. So, from my perspective, the installation was very simple.

The initial setup is straightforward. The Densify team handles the architecture and most of the setup. The different servers interact fairly easily, yet there is a significant amount of tuning and customization that can be done after initial setup.

Team Lead, Infrastructure at a tech services company with 201-500 employees

The initial setup was very straightforward for connection to on-premise systems. Connection to cloud resources was somewhat more challenging because it involved manually performing user setup on the cloud provider's console. We had a remote session with Densify when doing this part of the work and setup each cloud instance in about half an hour.
