Featured Reviews

Ujjwal Mule - PeerSpot reviewer
Data Dev Ops Engineer at Proton Technologies
Experiment tracking has transformed model comparisons and now supports faster, clearer insights
I would like to see more flexibility around content and reporting in Comet. Overall, the features are very strong, but having more customizable dashboards or easier ways to create shareable summaries for non-technical stakeholders would be helpful. It would make it easier to turn experiment results into clear insights without exporting data to other tools. There is a need for some improvements in Comet. It is very strong overall, but there are a few areas where it can be improved. For example, more flexibility in dashboards and content customization would be helpful, especially for creating summaries for non-technical stakeholders. Additionally, some advanced features have a learning curve, so slightly simpler onboarding or guided tips would make it easier for new users or freshers. These are minor points and they do not affect my regular day-to-day usage, but from the perspective of a fresher or new users, it could be improved.

Helps us provide visibility into network performance, capacity planning, and cost analysis
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

"Previously, it used to take a few hours to collect results and prepare comparisons, but now with Comet, this takes minutes instead of hours."
"Model metric tracking and comparison has been extremely beneficial, and Comet's customer service has also been excellent—any issue we've had, they have been able to help us resolve."
"The ability to monitor any platform. We have Windows, Linux, AIX, and mainframe all being monitored with the same UIM infrastructure."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"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."
"Technical support is great."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
 

Cons

"Additionally, some advanced features have a learning curve, so slightly simpler onboarding or guided tips would make it easier for new users or freshers."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"Stability."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
"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."
"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)."
