The vertical database loads faster than any other product available

We experience disconnections between the solutions own components. In the last five years, there have been many intermittent connection issues with the four components and we still don't know the reasons. The solution has issues when loading groups that have been created in the application interfaces. It would be nice to have a mobile application. In the current industry and technical word, the mobile phone is the only thing that is always in your hands. Other Broadcom products have mobile applications but the solution doesn't offer one. It would be great to view device parameters and view or download graphs from a mobile device.

Great for identifying application interdependencies with helpful support but needs better visualizations

We're just trying to identify the application interdependencies, which normally reside on different servers, including web servers, database servers, enterprise service bus, et cetera, up to your presentation layer before we start moving stuff around. Normally, the reason why we use these tools is to understand what assets we have, where they're deployed, and how they enter and operate before we decide to go move something from point A to point B. The solution is going to allow me to establish a wave or migration plan where you have different waves of migration and then you actually have move groups to try and get your application moved from A to B seamlessly. A to B could be on-premise to on-premise. It could be on-premise to cloud. Et cetera. The solution can tell me what components can I deploy, for example, into a cloud space, without having to refactor my applications since that can be quite time-consuming and costly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's performance itself is very good because it is a vertical database that loads very fast in comparison to other products."

"The integration with NetFlow, the NFA solution, so that we can have our flow forensics paired with the SNMP polling performance metrics on the same page."

"I can get it to run a report showing, for instance, what root drives are in the critical range in terms of being full, like 90 percent full, and disseminate that information to the other areas of the organization."

"We have been able to get a little bit better at seeing more things in real time and more just in time, so we're less reactionary."

"Customer service is top-notch."

"It saves time having it all on one place, so you do not have to jump around from different tools and try to merge the data. It is already done for you."

"Great dashboards and good integration with other solutions."

"Since the implementation of the tool, it has cut down on probably 60% of our outages and letting us know what is going on."

More DX Performance Management pros

"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis."

"The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network."

"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."

"The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts."

"This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."

"Wire data analytics."

Cons

"Policies could be improved."

"I would like to have more tasks, graphs, and possibilities for linking to the graphs and reports added to the solution."

"I have mixed feeling about the scalability. I feel like there are things which are being put into UIM right now that are not being included in Performance Center that we need to see in Performance Center. We are kind of being driven to buy UIM, and I can't justify it."

"CA PM can be complex to build and configure. Creating the folders / groups / sites required establishing many rule sets."

"We would like to be capable of reporting network performance with a report strictly focused on the times outside business hours, which CA PM does not currently support. We have discontinued the use of the Business Hours Filtering until CA engineers are able to resolve or offer guidance."

"The solution could improve the database model. It is also not very good because they have a lot of interconnections with other data sources, such as NFA and VNA."

"It could be a little easier to integrate new metrics."

"Spectrum's topology view sometimes does not rebuild automatically when a device is shut down and reconnected. It requires manual discovery and rebuilding of the topology, which I hope can be improved."

More DX Performance Management cons

"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."

"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."

"We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services."

"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."

"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."

"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We purchase a license to use the solution every three years and we have multiple contracts. They have been increasing the price annually. We have a baseline for three years and then we need to pay the difference from the baseline, and we are in the process of negotiating a new price for all the licenses we need. The price overall is affordable."

"The tool's pricing is based on the number of network devices."

"I like the licensing model because it's device-based."

"Do your homework and know how many devices you will be managing out of the gate. Be sure to project what your growth will be each year."

"We were looking at other vendors in the marketplace for NetFlow, and CA just beat everybody else in price, cost, and the size to implement. "

"They should provide more scalable licensing for the product."

"The pricing is higher than other solutions, but with such good features, I think it's worth it."

"The price of this solution for our environment is about £650,000 ($855,000 USD) for three years."

"The pricing is fair considering the value provided."
