Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ability to increase server density inside of my environment, which has helped me drive reduction in costs.""The tool will come back and tell us that we can operate with 1,000 minutes as an example, save 90% on the contractual rate and not run into any issues.""I would say that the initial thing is that it provides us with a technological basis to expand capacity management beyond Excel.""The Densify Control Console, and Environment Status.""Densify's ability to aggregate multiple on-premise vCenters and multiple cloud accounts, gives it a level of visibility not found in many places.""The Control Console provides a very easy to read dashboard of "too little/just right/too much" resources both for current data and on a historical or predictive basis.""The Control Console is an incredible way to give a quick view of current capacity utilization allowing technical people to drill down quickly and allowing business/management people to get a quick overview of the environment.""The solution's tech support is excellent."

"This solution is easy to learn how to use.""Allows us to execute heavy, complex computations on the fly so customers can slice and dice the data based on their business needs.""Whenever we have an issue or are unsure how to proceed, they manage to simplify the issue and help us execute it in a graceful and scalable way.""Ability to work with very large data sources without the limitations of Excel.""​Allows users to build their own solutions without as much reliance on technology staff.""No issues with stability. It is a very stable solution.""The solution's technical support team is good.""It has allowed me to move my data to the cloud."

Cons
"Some parts of the interface are rather complex and require a bit of time to navigate, but this has never stopped us as a Densify advisor is readily available to help with our "how to" queries.""Initially we talked about some custom reporting, wherein our customer expected certain reports on a few areas, like how the storage is allocated, how the network performance is doing, and how the network utilization is happening for a virtual machine.""Normalization of CPU utilization is required. At present, the data is available based on entitlement level.""In terms of integration, the tool has great data. However, it's not always meaningful because the true business attributes of how most Fortune 500 companies operate are not maintaining in one tool, they're in a school of many tools.""It seems that the mechanism for integration is, it goes so far but I think there could be some standard integration to normal remedy service now etc. I think that should be out of the box.""The solution's stability is the primary concern for me.""Unfortunately the tools and mechanisms which really came to maturity in the cloud, and were not mainstream on-premise, are still not implemented.""A closer integration to the service management processes."

More Densify Cons →

"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data.""The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing.""I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums.""At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed.""This solution does not have tabs. In order to have tabs, you have to download an add-on to mimic the tabs. They should be integrated to improve the solution.""I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes.""I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually.""The solution's setup process could be easier."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Setup cost is negligible, as it scales fairly well."
  • "Cost is always involved, but then I feel that this solution is better than other products that we have."
  • "Densify has licensing setup so you can collect data without licensing. It gives you the ability to collect on everything, then choose later what you would like to license."
  • "There was some sticker shock, as this is not just another software product to spit out graphs."
  • More Densify Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "This solution is more expensive than Tableau, Qlik and Dundas. It is an expensive tool. They charge $75,000 while Tableau is $45,000."
