Good end-to-end voice quality monitoring and offers valuable features
The solution should have automatic baseline detection. On the per hour, per base, per week. That's usually the best. And on a per individual CI level. I know that they're working on it and when that's available then we will definitely implement it because it will reduce the effort we need to maintain all the products. Right now we have to set thresholds for every location, and it needs to be actually dynamic so if we have better thresholding, we'll have faster alarms across all our locations. We won't have to expend effort on it by resetting or checking them on a regular basis.

Better support and more accessible resources are crucial. Customers have expressed that support is not as flexible, and it is difficult to obtain necessary information quickly. Customers would benefit from improved training material for integration with other products. The solution's pricing is high and needs to be reconsidered, and the technical support should improve to provide more accessible and open information.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"For us, it's very key to know the voice quality of the total solution, which is based on many components across many domains."
"We use the solution to meet the needs of the customer."
"Good end-to-end monitoring"
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions."
"We have a complex infrastructure, with multiple sites, which the systems handles beautifully."
"No technology is perfect, but CA is doing a really wonderful job of providing products that are reliable, scalable, and dependable to entities all over the world."
"With acquired experience, the product can do almost everything a monitoring product should do, but it is not all out of the box."
"Pricing is one of the lowest for such a product in the market; if you have an experienced tools administrator you may want to go with this product over any other market product considering the cost efficiency."
"Unified Management Portal (UMP) is the most valuable feature, as it did a lot of health monitoring for our environment to prevent some issues from happening."
 

Cons

"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."
"All the features and functions of the solution can be improved, specifically the user experience."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"I would like to see improvements in the maintenance mode area."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"Multi-tenancy for ICMP profiles of servers is not there."
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"If the database is down or if there is something going on, the console becomes very buggy and very, very slow, and sometimes impossible to use."
"Product stability and performance, especially in Linux environments needs to be improved."
"Stability issues: Q issues at very slow dashboards (flash!!!)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
