We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We're able to present data from multiple back-end collection sources into a single dashboard for the users. So they don't have to go to multiple locations to get data about a particular item, or device.""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.""The feature that is inherent to its core, of being able to graphically represent a trend and status, is nice.""The integration to the other products that we use: NFA, we use ADA, we use Spectrum; and CAPM integrates all those into a single pane of glass.""What is most useful is visibility.""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.""My sales representative, I would not trade him in for the world. He has done a really good job. I am really happy with him.​"

"It's a very complete product with a lot of functionality.""The most useful feature is infrastructure monitoring including switches and servers.""One of the notable advantages is its ability to provide quick responses, especially in critical situations.""The most valuable feature is the interface and its ease of use."

Cons
"DX Performance Management should increase high availability. If one of my two data centers goes offline and the other is operational, I need a seamless transition from the primary to the secondary data center. It's crucial to maintain consistent monitoring of the devices during this transition. Therefore, I require continuous, 24/7 monitoring of my system using this tool.""It would be helpful if CA provided online training for its customers.""When it goes through discovery, or whatever it is doing in the back-end that slows it down, sometimes we get some failures with it. ​""The quantity of views which are tied to specific metric families is too high. Also, the problem is the view doesn't tell you which metric family it uses, so you don't know why you don't see data.""Even though we can see when something is not available, it would also be it would be nice if some sort of alerting took place to that you could know immediately if something went down.""Some of the individual report views, the way some of the columns sort, there's room for improvement in giving us more flexibility in being able to sort reports based, for example, on what columns the metrics fall under.""I'm not a fan of many extra features since they usually burden the software and reduce its reliability.""Since we are out of registered IP space, we are moving to ipv6 and we expect our vendors to move with us, and they have not delivered yet."

"I would like to see additional modules included.""One notable deficiency is the lack of online support for the product.""The integration with other network devices needs improvement.""HPE Intelligent Management Center is a bit slow."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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. ​"
  • "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."
  • "They should provide more scalable licensing for the product."
  • "I like the licensing model because it's device-based."
  • "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."

  • "There are licensing costs and they are quite expensive."
  • "The price of this solution is not at all cheap, but it's reasonable compared to SolarWinds."
