Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Since the implementation of the tool, it has cut down on probably 60% of our outages and letting us know what is going on.""There is another component of the tool called Network Flow Analysis. It gives us the ability to troubleshoot issues which do not appear right away.""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 can be easily integrated with other systems and is powerful enough to collect data from a large number of devices.""It is the gathering of the whole performance data in our environment and our network environment, for us and our customers.""Downloads and records are the most valuable features.""The most valuable feature of DX Performance Management is the quick way we can collect data without putting much effort. They have a lot of customization and features with the solution internally and out of the box. We can discover the device, and start collecting information. For example, if the device is available, we can receive the CPU and memory utilization, and the interface optimization is simple and very fast to implement.""The solution's performance itself is very good because it is a vertical database that loads very fast in comparison to other products."

"Topology creation is the most valuable feature.""It is stable for fault and availability.""We do not have any issues stability-wise.""It's quite a mature solution.""Most valuable function would have to the internal causal engine and its root cause analyzer which keep us updated on critical errors and incidents in our network environment.""It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks.""Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good.""The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors."

Cons
"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.""This may be available by now but for server space, when it comes to the disk file system, I'd like to see that graphically represented, or the trend, rather than what I'm seeing now.""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.​""This solution is not very scalable.""It could be a little easier to integrate new metrics.""For CA PM, there should be a way of easily migrating the reports coming from eHealth going to CA Performance Center, since CA PC is replacing eHealth.""CA PM Business Hours Filtering: I understand that all monitoring systems have defects. The Business Hours Filtering does not always function properly. Sometimes, when applying business hours to CA PM reports that are 30 or more days in duration, the report generation times out and does not display results. We have other CA PM reports that, when we apply Business Hours Filtering, the report results displayed are the same as without the filter. We are not sure if this is a defect in CA PM or if it is a result of our complex configuration (folder structure) and application of business hours.""Install is done as root, which is a security no-no, and the database IO requirements were not stated correctly, which lead to a year of instability."

"The solution should integrate with NAC servers.""Only to improve the GUI.""When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained.""Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected.""Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility.""The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized""Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic.""They should add AI options in the product's next release."

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."
