Pros
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"I recall the initial setup being straightforward.""Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that.""What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product. The feature I found most valuable in the solution is the MCS feature, which is the automatic deployment of the objects you want to monitor. You can set up a system, for example, if it's a Windows machine and I want to test specific devices on it, I could do that through DX Unified Infrastructure Management. That type of deployment is very good because it means you won't miss any monitoring aspect on any server.""Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics.""The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available.""Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles.""MultiWAN and Balance service""The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management Pros →

"One of the valuable features is the packet decoding.""vSTREAM gives us better visibility and reporting about our network infrastructure, allowing for cost-optimization."

More NETSCOUT vSTREAM Pros →

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability.""The dashboards need to be improved.""The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes.""A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer.""I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time.""​We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard.""The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. ​""There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management Cons →

"I would like for it to have a smaller footprint of the virtual appliance and better performance.""I would like to see improvements made to the user guide.""Room for improvement exists in filtering in the packet decode."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
  • "The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
  • "The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
  • "Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
  • "CAD $400,000 annually."
  • "Customers pay for the license and the support."
  • "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."
